A Family Landscape in Continuity
Project OverviewUgglarp 1:16 & 1:19 is a study in long-term stewardship of a coastal family property
Originally built by Hadar and Vera, today inhabited by the fifth generation, the site embodies continuity through use, rather than permanence through form.
This project asks how the site might remain within the family, continue to function as a living summer place, and adapt to the increased size of the multi-generational family constellation sharing it.
ApproachThis proposal is grounded in the principle of care before development. This is not a masterplan, nor a proposal for immediate construction. It is a strategic architectural reading of a place held in trust across generations.
Development, where it occurs, is understood as an act of stewardship and allow the site to absorb change without loosing its identity as common ground. To honour collective memory, access to nature , and shared responsibility.
IntentThe work resists development as an extractive act. Instead, subdivision and building are treated as tools for responsibility, ways of clarifying use, maintenance and care, while preserving shared values and enabling multiple generations to inhabit the site simultaneously
Architectural PositionAll proposals are anchored in the sits’s existing conditions: its vegetation, ground levels, paths, and long-established patterns of movement and gathering. New buildings, where contemplated, are positioned to protect outlook, preserve distance, and maintain a sense of openness across the land.
Curatorial NoteUgglarp is not presented as a finished proposal. It is an architectural reading of a lived landscape, intended to support dialogue within a family, and more broadly about how domestic sites can be held, and passed on without losing their coherence.
Development here is an act of care.
