Four-Corner Villa Captures Views with a Simple Spiral Shape
The plan is at the heart of this elegantly elemental forest home set with a light touch (atop elevated footings) on an island in Finland.
The layout thrusts residents back out in four different directions, taking focus off the smallness of the space and emphasizing its intentional lack of center.
Outside, dark stain makes it blend with the landscape, except for soft squares of light at the terminus of each arm. Inside, bright white walls make the spaces inviting, lively and open.
