Townhouse in Landskrona by Elding Oscarson
Townhouse in Landskrona by Elding Oscarson
Swedish architects Elding Oscarson have completed a modern house in a street of traditional terraced cottages in Landskrona, Sweden.
The house, which is just five metres wide, fills a gap in the street that has been vacant for over 50 years.
The interior consists of a single space, divided by three steel floor plates.
The narrow site is sandwiched between very old neighboring buildings in Landskrona, Sweden. Since mid 20th century it has been empty, waiting behind a wooden fence. It is only 5 meters wide with a tiny area of 75 square meters.
Immediately adjacent buildings are low, but the street is lined with buildings of various height, size, facade material, age, and approach. Behind the row of buildings is a colorful world of back yards, brick walls, sheds, and vegetation.
We find this small-scale, motely, naturally worn place extremely beautiful.
