Abstract [en]

The project entails the creation of a captivating complex, comprising a community house and a Retreat center. Located in the peaceful outskirts of Ösmo, with stunning views of Västra Styran, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly blends functionality, aesthetic appeal, and a profound connection to nature.

The Retreat center, an integral part of the project, offers a sanctuary of tranquility and rejuvenation for adults registered in Nynäshamn Municipality. It provides an escape from the demands of everyday life, inviting individuals to embark on a serene and revitalizing retreat experience complete with overnight accommodations. Thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding natural landscape, the Retreat center features 23 units, each equipped with private bathrooms. This fusion of comfort and nature allows guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.

At the core of the complex lies the community house, serving as a vibrant hub for learning, social interaction, and engagement. Designed as a multifunctional space, it caters to various activities and facilitates connections among visitors. The community house offers a wide range of amenities, including a knowledge-filled library, activity rooms to foster creativity, workshops to encourage skill-building, and flexible spaces to accommodate different needs. Additionally, a spacious dining hall provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for shared meals and meaningful conversations.

The architectural concept extends beyond the conventional boundaries of a retreat or community center. During the summer months, the building opens its doors to businesses in search of a unique venue for their activities or scout groups seeking an unforgettable camping experience. This versatility enhances the project's sustainability while promoting broader community involvement and collaboration.

A central objective of this architectural endeavor is to cultivate an environment that fosters holistic well-being, a sense of togetherness, and community development. Through thoughtfully curated workshops and engaging events, visitors have the opportunity to actively engage with and learn from local communities. By participating in these experiences, guests not only gain valuable insights into the region's cultural heritage but also contribute to its preservation. This project aspires to create a space where health, connection, and societal progress intertwine harmoniously, leaving a lasting positive impact on both individuals and the wider community.
