The floating Nackros Villa

“The house is built entirely without “cold bridges” and, in our climate, the energy for heating, including hot tap water is below 9.000 kWh/year, which is extremely low. It’s heated by a heat pump that takes a few degrees from the surrounding water and delivers the heat by water to the floors in the house.

“Before we let the used air out we take the heat back into the system. When we introduced the ideas of floating homes to the town of Kalmar they got interested and offered a site in the central parts of the town in the harbor that formerly was used as a shipyard. The villa is going to be moved just about 50 meters from where it’s photographed, where a new pier is built.”
