Home for two artists in Sweden. Expansion of an old villa with a limited budget

Swedish studio Forstberg Ling designed an expansion of an old villa for designer Jenny Nordberg and artist Andreas Kurtson with a simple brief, to create a large open space to serve as an atelier on a limited budget

The project features a square footprint with concrete block walls, an economical way to create the required space. Loose laminated beams and sixteen skylights create a flexible space that can be configured as needed
