House on Gotland - Visualization of a bookshelf

courtesy of Fredrik Sjölander

The project is totally hypothetical. There was a competition to visualise a bookshelf of the swiss manufacturer Aandres and I needed a setting.I started to think about how the bookshelf would be the heart of a building and create a space around it that would not compromise the bookshelf. At the time I was on the island Gotland, east of Sweden and it was very bad weather all day long so it got me thinking of a hideout situated in the varied landscape. The hideout would use the bookshelf for all its needs of storage so you would not need anything else. Its only the bookshelf and the amazing landscapes of Gotland.
