Archipelago House is the Ultimate Holiday Home for Nature Lovers in the Woods of Sweden

When you dream of the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/build-a-gypsy-wagon-in-the-woods-all-it-takes-is-ingenuity-elbow-grease-and-mostly-recycled-components/">ultimate holiday home in the woods</a>, it probably looks a lot like this pretty black-stained timber Archipelago house in Sweden. Designed by <a href="http://www.tvark.se">Tham &amp; Videgård Arkitekter</a> to mesh with its beautiful natural surroundings, the project was squeezed in between two big boulders and oriented to make the most of the southerly sun.

Tham &amp; Videgard has designed the ultimate holiday home in Sweden

The Archipelago House is constructed out of mostly black-stained timber and glass

The project is wedged between two big boulders on site

The house is oriented towards the southerly sun, to maximize its impact

The rooms are hidden in the back of the house, allowing the rest of it to remain open - like a platform.

Tall glass sliding doors permit loads of natural light

The interior is expansive and decorated with a minimalist touch

A hanging fireplace keeps the home warm during winter

The horizontal trellises diffuse natural light, bring fun shadow play into the home

The rest of the home opens out to the sea and surrounding pine forest

A sense of height is given to the building to reinforce its connecting with the tall pines outside
