MA03 – Library House, a single-family house located in Sweden, was designed by architectural studio Fria Folket in 2022. It is situated on the edge of a sparse pine forest by the lake Voxsjön and is tailored specifically to the needs of a ceramicist and a lawyer. The couple wanted a house that would be capable of holding their extensive book collection while providing them with spaces for work and creative activity.
The house is organized around a library in the shape of a book gallery framing a small courtyard, composed of four gable-roof buildings that each solve its own part of the program. The four houses are organised in the order of the sun’s movement with the starting point of the house, i.e the entrance, in line with the starting point of the day, in the east.
The degree of privacy follows the same loop, from the most social spaces, hallway and kitchen, to the most private spaces at the end of the circle. The library functions as the core and bloodstream of the project, providing access to the courtyard from all parts of the house.
