Sandellsandberg is the author of this magic: a residence that seems not to be there. Using contemporary elements, such as molded reflective sheet metal, fused with traditional elements, such as a thatched roof, the architect creates a stunning villa raised on pillars, four meters above the ground
Synvillan, the illusion of a house dissolving in Scandinavian nature
Synvillan, which literally translates as "Optical Illusion", is a receptive architecture located in the Eriksberg nature reserve, which allows visitors to enjoy a unique experience surrounded by wild animals
The distance from the ground is enough for visitors to sleep safely and quietly inside the nature reserve, which is teeming with wildlife. In fact, Synvillan floats on the ground of a feeding area where animals eat. Through a glass panel in the floor, visitors have the opportunity to see bison, deer, fallow deer, mouflon and wild boar roaming freely together in the fenced-in nature reserve
At Eriksberg, biological diversity is preserved and developed, making the nature reserve one of Scandinavia's most interesting nature experiences. The new arrangement allows visitors to get close to both animals and nature. The architecture covers an area of about fifty square meters including two rooms, a kitchen and a furnished terrace
