Architect Torsten Ottesjö is making a statement with this house: If you design a space well, it doesn't need to be large — or angular, for that matter. Used as a weekend and summer home by a couple who live in an apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden, the house has a working kitchen, an outdoor shower and an outhouse nearby, in addition to an indoor, heated bathroom; Ottesjö also insulated the home for winter living."This house was not designed to be a small house for two people; it was designed to be a house for two people," says Ottesjö. In addition to asserting that homes don't need to be big, Ottesjö shifts the way we think about homes as boxes to fill with furniture to make them livable. "I wanted to create an ideal interior, a house that is integrated into its landscape and one that isn't full of right angles and unused space — space that most people just use for storing boxes," he says.West coast of Sweden269 square feet
