Life on a Fallen leave, like its own label proposes, forms upon a leaf-shaped plan intersected through a Brazilian ferryboat. A glass dome conservatory similar to a bluebell crowns its strange shell, flower-shaped windows framework scenery of the outdoors, and also a variety of nature-inspired information decorate the interior.

Conceived as a substantial sculpture-- an Overall Art pieces along with an open plan region of 147 square meters-- it presents that fine art is not something 'glued onto' a building after its fulfillment but is included in to its own whole design.' [Listed here], craft is actually a window formed like a water drop, a position in a wall in the type of a needle, a rhyme on a door, a laminated electronic photograph as a home kitchen worktop, and also an interior audio installation that responds to the modifications of wind as well as light outdoors,' Andersson writes.

Shunning ideal perspectives, the unusual layout attains a natural rhythmical motion and also appreciates lighting in coming from 6 various instructions. Right here, Andersson brings into play the neoclassical exteriors of the 1920s and 30s, which were often spruced up along with little sculptures. Along with preparation and engagement funded through a grant from the Kone Foundation, 5 of the six sections of the house's facade are denoted with art work by prominent creatives.
