Petra Gipp Arkitektur have embedded a pale concrete structure in the lushness of a Swedish forest slope. The entire form is gathered around a nave made out of wood. Looking closer, a staircase carves its way through the wood and concrete volume and by doing so, ties the structure tighter together. This passage opens up into a inner space, where the wooden core forms a niche/bench. The ceiling releases from the wall to reveal a thin slice of sky. The Architect wanted to to inflict as little damage as possible on the site, conceptually as well as visually hence the foundation is laid in the back, which allows the structure to rise above the ground and leave a large part of the site untouched.
