Abstract


Villa Engström, at Sorunda This house, of semi-spheric shape, has besically only one floor level, without basement. However, the guest room and the attic are a kind of second floor within the cupula. This is an experiment, with a view to the possible mass construction of this prototype. The various rooms are grouped in two blocks, one comprising the bedrooms, which are cellular type and of minimum size, and the bathrooms; the other includes the children's room, a living room which extends into the vestibule, and guest room at a higher level. Villa Ström, near Stockholm This house is practically cube shaped, with ample terraces, which are structurally independent of the central volume. A principal aim has been to obtain fine views in all directions, and also to take advantage of the ground slope. This house, of original and competent design, includes indoor gardens which add colour and life to the rooms.
