Here’s a bit of text from the architects:


Solbrinken Ordinary House in Nacka

An ordinary single family house with a separate studio. The houses are situated between the forest and the former old garden.

Solbrinken Ordinary House by In Praise of Shadows

We made the most out of the landscape variation and turned the closed walls to the outer world and neighbours.

The family wanted to create their own world. A designer and a art director. A living room for skateboard.

A high room for kitchen. A sleeping room with roof light and art.

In the space between the volumes are an outer room for recreation and play, with a character of Japan or Skåne.

The materials are chosen with a simplicity and roughness for an active family; concrete floors, mdf kitchen, outside wood panel in black oil paint.

PressPausePlay: a digital doc

A film about ‘fear, hope and digital culture’, new documentary PressPausePlay will debut at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Texas in March

<object width=”560″ height=”349″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/MterbpYTyjM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/MterbpYTyjM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”560″ height=”349″></embed></object>

The film aims to look at the impact of the digital revolution on the creative world and the opportunities (and threats) it has brought.

“Over the last decade creativity and talent of hundreds of millions of people have been unleashed in an unprecedented way, forever changing human culture. Our film is a humble contribution to the debate,” says Charlotta Ribbefjord of the Swedish team behind the film. “PressPausePlay is a documentary film about hope, fear, and digital culture based on interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era such as Moby, Robyn, Sean Parker and Seth Godin, among others.”

Also interviewed in the film are Behance founder Scott Belsky and Bill Drummond of the KLF.

It is directed by David Dworsky and Victor Köhler. “After working in the creative industry for a number of years we got a bit tired of the loud complaints regarding the disappearance of business models due to pirating and continuing profit losses. These subjects had been discussed to death at media panels and in newspapers around the world. We felt that an important part of the story had been lost – the unprecedented cultural impact. Sure, there are lots of industry problems caused by technological innovation but there are also enormous new opportunities for creation,” the say.
