Dazzling sunshine, turquoise sea, endless blue sky – light and shadow.

It is the perfect place to feel the sea breeze and take time to do simply nothing... which is exactly what the owner of a villa on Zakynthos thought when they built their holiday home.
Between rocks and ferns, the 82 concrete steps wind up the steep mountain. They lead to Jacob and Jenny Fröslee Jonsson's holiday home: a timeless yet modern 100 m2 retreat on the small island of Flatön on the west coast of Sweden. The architect couple built Villa Yv for themselves and their four children.
Spectacular locations in the countryside have long fascinated clients and architects throughout history. One of the most famous examples is Fallingwater house by Frank Lloyd Wright from the 1930s. The house is built on different platforms over a waterfall and uses the existing rocks as walls and to separate the rooms. The owners therefore live with the waterfall instead of just looking at it. From living in the treetops or having a view of the Northern Lights; a house on the beach or a Tiny House on Wheels – anything is possible.
