A Retro Modern Prefab: Pavilion 65 by Pavilion Living

The design duo at Pavilion Living combines a little bit of California style from the 1950s with current modern lines to create their prefab designs like their latest, Pavilion 65, located near Torekov, Sweden. The two-bedroom residence makes perfect sense for a couple or anyone looking to build a reasonable vacation or weekend home.

The clean, classic lines of the rectangular-shaped structure lends itself to open spaces with both private and public areas. Large glass panels create a light-filled interior and they also blur the lines between the indoors and outdoors.

I love the nod to Mondrian and the subtle use of primary colors throughout.

Even though it’s a prefab, there are all kinds of special details like the window seat above and the built-in bookcases below.

The large deck extends the square footage making it easy to enjoy the outdoors.

The things designers are coming up with these days is so creative. I’ve done design for most of my life and have worked mostly with wood and mostly in kitchens. I find that many times I find myself fitting as much in as I can but the style has become so much more simplistic and minimalist. It inspires me to try to be less bulky. You can see what I mean in the slider. http://www.mastercustomdesign.com

just take the kitchen in this design for instance. Simple white cabinets with a simple table and chairs. It’s nothing like what I have been creating in my career. Im a big fan.

  I wonder what the lowest temperature of the house is designed to withstand?

    The house meets the very harsch regulations of energy efficiency for permanent housing in Sweden. 50 kwh/m2 and year. It should withstand very cold climate, same as any other modern house in Sweden.
    
    The house is heated from the concrete floor using hot water. In addition to this u can use the built-in stove.
    
    Below 30 degrees celsius in high winds should not be a problem! Not sure this answers your question but it is difficult to be more specific.

I am a student and was wondering if you have the floor plans, elevations and sections of Pavilion 65. I would like to use for a project I’m doing. Thanks
