townhouse, landskrona, sweden by elding oscarson all photos by ake e:son lindman
swedish architects elding oscarson have designed a townhouse in landskrona, sweden. the recently completed house is situated on a narrow site between old neighboring buildings. it is only 5 meters wide with a tiny area of 75 square meters.
three thin slabs are projected into the open volume, softly dividing its functions. the interior consists of a single space, softly partitioned by three exposed steel slabs. these span the entire width of the house and divide its program – kitchen, dining, living, library, bed, bath, and a roof terrace. the continuous interior space opens up to the the street as well as to an intimate garden.
all facades are treated equally, exposing the interior and offering views through the building with similar apertures whether on the front, back or sides
a home office for a growing side business of art dealing is located in a separate building across a small garden in the back
