Fårö House
Architecture
The house is a year-round residence, designed for holidays and weekend life. The exterior and interior mirrors the old traditional buildings in the area but in a modern way. The untreated wooden facade of century-old pine heartwood is slowly turning gray in the harsh island climate. The roof, facade lighting, entrence door, window frames and metal work are all lacquered in the same gray color. The house becomes one with the underlying bedrock of gray limestone which consists of a 400 million year old coral reef that has slowly risen out of the sea.
