Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture designed the ‘Villa Nyberg’ in Borlänge, Sweden.
Description from the architects:
PASSIVE HOUSES AS TYPE HOUSES
Kjellgren Kaminsky has produced Swedens first serie of passive houses sold as type houses in collaboration with Emrahus. This is one of the first to get built. It has been customized for the Nyberg family living in Borlänge, central Sweden.
THE PASSIVE HOUSE CONCEPT
Passive houses are extremely well-insulated buildings that are largely heated by the energy already present in the building – people and our household equipment generate a lot of energy. Our energy simulations show that this villa will have an energy consumption for heating of only 25 kWh/m²year.
LIVING IN VILLA NYBERG
The autumn is closing in, but its still warm in the sun. Its Sunday morning and I’m reading the newspaper in the kitchen. From here I can see almost the whole house.
The kitchen and the living room form one big open room. From there two corridors running along the atrium connects it with the bedrooms. If I look into the atrium I can see the doors to the bedrooms on the other side, there our kids are still fast asleep, they stayed up a bit too long yesterday watching movies.

and find the comments about them rhetar whiny and sad. Fine, the normally shaped houses could have perhaps done with more 3D attention, but why does everyone need to see a building in 100% realism??? That’s just being plain closed minded not to mention visually and creatively lazy. The work that has been done more than effectively illustrates the purpose and functionality of the structures.With that said, I absolutely love the circular house idea & wish Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture great success in their future endeavors.To all the nay-sayers & nit-pickers. Go get a hobby.-S
