Summary
"Relaxing in the bathroom looking out on to the sunny landscape and seeing the reflected light shining in is an everyday pleasure," he says. Also, in both of his studios, [Olle Andersson] was very careful when calculating the exterior views and sun angles during the different light phases of the summer months. Andersson notes that "at a certain time every day, a blue `light painting' will appear on a white wall in the studio, created by the sun reflecting through cobalt blue drinking glasses." In 1996-97 the architect created and organized the first lighting festival in Gothenburg, emphasizing his passion for lighting.
The fourth building is a new addition, which was built with the intention of becoming the main working studio. The old barn now houses a Mini along with furniture waiting to be restored. The former henhouse and wood storage area is now a wood workshop, home to much of designer tools and machinery. The pieces of furniture in this studio are the results of one of the many international experimental workshops called "Wood" that were organized by Olle Andersson a few years ago. Much of the furniture inside the house, if not made by himself, has been picked up in flea markets. "There are no `high class' antiques here," Andersson mentions, "although the furniture pieces add a personal touch to a historical place that has been in my family for years."See the full content of this document
