The Town House / Elding Oscarson

The narrow site is sandwiched between old buildings in Landskrona, Sweden. Though nicely situated by the beach in a growing region, this city has become notorious for its social problems, originally set off by the wharf industry crisis in the 80’s. Our lot has been empty since mid 1900’s. It is barely 5 meters wide with a tiny area of 75 square meters, facing a street but also a colorful hidden world inside the city block. We wanted keep a strong presence of this small-scale, motley, naturally worn place in the completed project – a feeling of almost being outdoor.
