| DESIGN NAME: Smadalaro Gard PRIMARY FUNCTION: Spa Hotel INSPIRATION: The estate was originally founded in 1810, when sea captain Carl Peter Blom returned from his many adventures at sea to settle down. The main house, taking inspiration from Mediterranean villas, was built for socializing and became a meeting spot for socialites and cultural personalities. The estate was also a large farm, with crops, fishing, cattle and both a brewery and a distillery. The sea travels, the lavish parties and the farming have all served as essential inspiration for the design. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the heart of Stockholm’s archipelago, just 50 minutes from the Swedish capital, lies a unique year-round destination. Smådalarö Gård Hotel & Spa, originally built by an infamous sea captain in 1810, has been thoughtfully renovated and reopened in July 2021. With its concept of relaxed luxury, the hotel now boasts one of Sweden’s largest spa retreats, where nature and modern comforts are prevalent. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2018 and the hotel was opened in July 2021. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Concrete structure enveloped in traditional Swedish red-painted timber. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: - TAGS: Smådalarö, Smådalarö Gård, Hotel, Spa, Country, Retreat, Rebuild, Extension, Architecture, Koncept RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Foremost it was essential to investigate whether or not it was possible to fit all the required functions into the allowed footprint and height restriction. This was done by calculating what volume each function would require, and thereafter arranging all of the resulting blocks, much like a jenga puzzle, withing the available space. CHALLENGE: The client requested a large spa with accompanying facilities, such as treatment rooms, gym etc, along with a number of new hotel rooms plus a new entrance and restaurant, all to be centralized in a new structure within a limited footprint and within height restrictions. Simultaneously, any new structure had to adhere to the typology of the Swedish archipelago.
