Premiere for Sommarnöjens first L-shaped house!
Many have asked when Sommarnöjen will develop L-shaped houses. The answer has long been that we have waited because we are not entirely fond of the idea. We have chosen not to launch anything until we have landed on a design language that we are completely satisfied with and can stand behind. Now the time has come.
To create good L-shaped houses you need to think carefully to achieve clean floor plans, good proportions between the building volumes and neat junctions between the roofs.
Now that we finally present our first L-shaped houses, we have given them their own expression. We started from our simple and straight barn houses and focused on their balanced and small-scale forms. Then we shaped two building volumes in an angle and joined them with a beautiful fully glazed entrance. This gives the new Duo the best of both worlds.
Duo is two houses in one
Duo has separate building volumes for socializing and resting, for the social and the private. The two parts are separated from each other but united in the glazed entrance. Views from the social part are undisturbed while the private part is more closed.
The clear division of functions in Duo means that socializing with guests can take place in one part of the house without disturbing those who want to go to bed early. Likewise, some can get up at dawn and potter about in the kitchen while others sleep in as long as they want.
Duo adapts to your plot
Duo adapts to your plot like few other houses. The two building volumes can be angled according to the plot and where the best views are. In the standard configuration the building volumes have an exciting angle of 105 degrees. If the plot requires it, the angle can be reduced to the traditional 90 degrees and if space allows, the building volumes can be angled up to 135 degrees.
Find a Duo for you
Sommar 60 Duo and Sommar 70 Duo show that architecture with its own character is possible even in a small format and with a limited budget. Sommar 80 Duo accommodates most things even for the large family. The large Sommar 100 Duo contains everything one could wish for – a private section with three bedrooms and a complete bathroom as well as an exceptionally airy social section with a kitchen, a cloakroom and a separate bathroom.
Quality and choice
Duo is part of Sommarnöjens large Sommar collection. This means genuine natural materials externally and internally, in windows, kitchens, joinery and details. It has the possibility to adapt external surfaces according to the environment where the house will be placed, four well-thought interior styles and many optional extras, such as sleeping loft, skylights, stove, hot outdoor shower and much more.
As with all Sommarnöjens houses you can choose Totalansvar so you don't have to think about anything at all during the process of a new house – more than moving in when we give you the keys.
Why settle for one house when you can get two? Discover the new Duo!
In autumn 2024 we also launched the Duo floor plan in our larger houses, Sommar 150. Here we chose to add yet another building volume to create a sheltered inner courtyard. It became a trio that can advantageously be used when the family wants to be close but still have their own part of the house.
