The project began with an exploration of the atrium typology and its specific characteristics. The project site is located on the northern side of Åseberget in Kungälv, a challenging site that does not share the same views of the city as the southern parts of the area. The focus, therefore, is to highlight the presence of nature and various light qualities through the atrium.

The preliminary study of atriums from different time periods and locations around the world resulted in several characteristics being the focus of the project. The connection with the ground and sky, the atrium as a space-defining element both as an area for communication and as a place where functions from the inside can flow out, and finally, the introverted home, which creates a clear distinction between the private and public.
