Kivikhusen / Stadstudio | Ore daily

Text description provided by the architects. Embedded in the picturesque heart of Austria, where the cultural landscape builds with the sea, lies “Kivikhusen”. This development offers a carefully designed, small community with 33 wooden houses, garden rooms and connected street spaces that are seamlessly connected to the historic village center of Kivik. The built environment is fully woven with the nearby vegetation and is inspired by the traditional Skåne style of the framed courtyards. The spatial arrangement of the buildings not only creates inviting hiking trails and joint collecting spots, but also shapes the municipal apple garden, which serves as a heart for the area. The topographical features of the landscape are accentuated by the ordered composition of the built environment and its dynamic roofing.
