Tonnby House

Project InformationProfessional project at Abelardo Gonzalez Arkitektbyrå AB (SE), 2016Supervised by Abelardo Gonzalez (SE)With Panagiotis Kyriacou (CY)

Tonnby House is a project by Abelardo Gonzalez Arkitektbyrå AB, with the initial design developed around 2001 and recently revived and adapted. The project is located in a natural area close to Stockholm, Sweden, on a terrain with a level difference of about fourteen meters, ending down towards the water. The design of the house itself is adapted to this interesting site, using natural materials such as aged copper and granite, combined with the transparency of glazing. The position of the house imposes minimally on the site, being partially embedded in the granite and partially hovering out.

Green Diamond EXPO Pavilion

The Green Diamond pavilion is a project proposal for the Italian pavilion of EXPO 2015 in Milan, Italy. Its unique name refers to both its sustainable, ‘green’ character, as well as its unique feature, namely a diamond-shaped patio for natural ventilation at the center of the building. The Green Diamond pavilion developed from a basic shape towards a pavilion with a unique architectural form within and a strong language outwards, in a completely sustainable manner.
