The House of Sweden
The House of Sweden is not your typical embassy in Washington, D.C. Instead of a closed-off building, Windgårdh built a translucent structure that is open and inviting. In the entry level, sliding doors open during warmer seasons and even features a lily pond. Inspired by a wicker lamp, the wooden balcony that wraps aroun the entire thrird level light up in the evening to emulate Nordic light.
