This Is an Extension to an Original Cabin from the 1800S, Located on the Shore of the Lake Övre Gla in the Glaskogen Nature Reserve in Sweden. According to Swedish Building Regulations, Construction Along Lakeshores Is Prohibited Unless It Is an Extension to an Existing Building. Other Restrictions Included a Maximum Floor Area and a Distance of 4.5 M to the Stream Which Forms Part of the Site Boundary.

to Use the Maximum of Possiblities Given by the Building Regulations, 24H Made an Extension to the Cabin That Can Evolve. the Building Can Literally Adjust Itself to Its Environment Depending on Weather Conditions, Season or the Number of Occupants. the Extension Unfurls Like a Butterfly: During the Winter Its a Cocoon, Compact With a Double Skin Against the Cold; During the Summer the Building Can Change Its Form or, Like a Butterfly, Unfold Its Wings for Extra Shelter During Rainy Days.

the Organic Shape of the House Blends Naturally Into the Setting of the Rough Forest. Traditional Roofing Solution (Stickor or Shingled Roof), That Were Common in Sweden Many Years Ago, Were Used in a Contemporary Way. the Choice of Canadian Cedar Wood for the Stickor Is Because It Needs No Maintenance. in Due Time the Wood Will Have a Grey Appearance Fitting Itself Smoothly in the Rough Rocky Forest Landscape. in This Way, During the Absence of the Inhabitants, the House Will Camouflage Itself.
