MNY Arkitekter Designs the Two Sisters Home for Siblings
Amy Duong — April 12, 2024 — Art & Design
Finnish design studio MNY Arkitekter fniishes the Two Sisters holiday home made from timber materials. It is located in Salo and designed for two siblings as the namesake suggests. The structure is made for the two to live together yet separately. To form the sectioned space, the team divided the home into two units in a standalone form -- it joins by a terrace in the middle which overlooks the surrounding greenery.
MNY Arkitekter founder Mathias Nyström speaks to Dezeen about the design, stating "In many ways the site is one of typical Finnish inner archipelago terrain and vegetation, and one of the main goals was to preserve as many trees and visible rocks as possible. Equality of the views from the two units was also important and had a significant impact on the layout."
