In the heart of Stockholm, in a building from 1914, the apartment is facing the secular trees of the Norra Real College.  More than a hundred years later many awkward modifications along time destroyed the beauty of this apartment.The elegant soul of this old building vanished from the now chaotic layout. The challenge is about bringing all modern uses, bathrooms, sauna, built-in kitchen, re-inventing the nobility of the architecture of that time. It obliges us to rethink deeply the layout of the apartment. Private rooms, such as bedrooms and bathrooms are preferred facing the peaceful interior courtyard of the building on its northern side. Public spaces are preferred facing the main street and the adjacent garden on the southern view... More

The project tries to configure an idea of living conceived as fluid space, protected but at the same time interconnected with the surrounding landscape, able to grant privacy to the family but to project it perceptively in a wider spatiality, to connect it to the scale of the neighbourhood.The house presents itself as a diaphragm of open and closed, built and natural spaces variously interlaced.

The commission to build the house came from a source close to home, namely Marc Koehler’s mother. The original intent for its construction was as an investment for her. However, through their intimate collaboration that is such an intrinsic part of Marc Koehler’s method of creation, his mother became so attached to the house that she decided to keep it, using it as both an office for her small business, a studio for her painting and a second home. It came to be named the ‘House in House’ by MKA, because of the separate entrance to the office space situated within the house giving a dual nature and function to the house. The unusual exterior of the house is an indication to the unique and unexpected interior, a contemporary interpretation... More
