LINEMAN HOUSE

Kvärlöv, Sweden
2025 -ongoing
110 sqm

Addition to a small rural house for a young family. Located in between two villages, the small house with a large horticultural garden was built in the early 20th century as a dwelling for the local railway lineman. The new building provides well needed flexible living space and including a master bedroom, a living room, dining room and bathroom. The existing kitchen remains in the old house and connects directly with the new dining room.

The project has an ambitous strategy for reusing windows from demounted or demolished buildings, and the timber cladding will be sourced from a demolished garage on site. The old house will be renovated and restored to its original with windows and exposed brick.
