American magnificence Inspiration from the grand villas on the American east coast is very obvious. NEWPORT sounds American, but its layout plan is very much from the traditional Swedish manor house era. Even if this house is located in the USA or Sweden, you will certainly enjoy the beautiful patio/conservatory, situated at the gable end. The windows on the ground floor and the glazed double doors, permits lots of daylight, allowing you enjoy the outside scenery.

GROUND FLOOR
This is the house for the larger family. Over and above the generous bathroom, the first floor has six bedrooms and a lounge. On the ground floor is a kitchen, a workroom/study, a beautiful living area for lots of family/friends to mingle. On a chilly autumn evening the family can gather around the centrally placed tiled stove (kakelugn), perhaps telling fairy stories to the children, or just enjoying one another. During those lazy, hazy days of summer, food can easily be served on the patio, thanks to the vicinity of the kitchen. EKOMER helps to solve the climate problem.

We build
for the soul Our aim is not just to design beautiful homes with high quality. For many years KarlsonHus has aimed to produce smart climate (“klimatsmart”) buildings with low energy usage. Besides that, the choice of building materials has been an important parameter in the process. As much as is possible we use renewable material or recycled material, with the intent of minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. We build homes for the soul, but with our heads.
MÄLHAMRA
The roots are from the early 1900’s architecture and is a memory from that period when the most beautiful Swedish houses were built. The kitchen is modern, yet typical of that early period.

An open layout and a house with ancient charm and feeling. That is the house we call MÄLHAMRA. An airy, welcoming impression at the entrance, creating surprise as you enter. It vibrates with daylight and charm. The kitchen and the other important space gives an impression of containment, in spite of its openness. The feeling created through the beautiful old fashioned windows, competes with the feeling of openness from the raised ceilings. Bedrooms with sloping ceilings give a safe and secure feeling for both young and old. A house for the growing family. EKOMER gives an excellent indoor climate.

A Swedish timber framed masterpiece BERGVIK is a somewhat smaller version of the Lusthus series. This house has different characteristics, concrete roofing tiles, the Swedish ”falu röd” (Falu red) painted timber cladding with white edgings. Looking at the exterior we can suspect the generous ceiling height

inside. The many lines, angles and different roof sections coupled to the beautiful joinery features, give the house life and harmony. Simply a pleasure for the eye!
149 M2, 6 ROOMS AND KITCHEN In the BERGVIK we have opened up the ground floor. This creates extra living space, which during the hot summer days expands into the patio area. A house which touches the soul, not only for the residents, but also for the passer by. A house to enjoy for the rest of your life.

The projecting tower certainly draws attention. A home with its sights set towards the sky!
Kaptensvillan 184 M2, 6 ROOMS AND KITCHEN You can choose either to have dinner in the dining area at the tower or in the spacious dining room.

You can also have a nice view over the local neighbourhood. If you prefer to keep to the ground level, you have the timber decking alongside the whole house, giving optimal space to gather the whole family and friends.

Already on the outside one can suspect the generous inside ceiling height. The eye is taken by the roof details and the open eaves running the length of the house. Generous space inside. The bedroom and bathroom have a lower ceiling height, creating a quiet calmness and also saving heat. Everywhere there is a touch of genuine detailed handicraft. Colour nuancing gives a discreet division of space, although it’s all open plan.

The correct choice – for our children’s future You don’t need to be an environmental activist to contribute to the improvement of of our world’s climate. It’s about you and me, our children and our grandchildren. Each one of us can do something for the environment, avoid CO2 emissions and help to stop global warming. KarlsonHus’ solution is EKOMER. We are offering this climate and energy concept with all of our houses, independent of structure and design. EKOMER-houses are Carbon Zero-houses, because the main building material, timber, binds the carbon dioxide when the tree is in growth, and stores it as long as the house is standing. As much as possible we use natural materials, where their manufacture has used a low amount of energy. Life cycle analyses for our products proves that the KarlsonHus house loadens nature much less than a normal traditional house.
The choice is yours Not only is EKOMER lenient on and kind to nature, but also to your wallet. All the constituent elements of the concept – from the extra insulated foundation slab, the walls with effective cellulose insulation to the solar panels on the roof – is directed to energy and heat savings. Solar energy is a never ending and renewable resource, it’s free and isn’t affected by price increases, as other forms of energy. KarlsonHus are the first in Sweden to offer solar panel as standard. Compared to the traditional Swedish house, heating costs are 50% plus lower. You get a climate friendly, low energy house, which is similar in effect to a *passive house, but containing renewable and natural raw materials. It is the beautiful, the healthy and the natural which gives soul to every KarlsonHus house. Make a clever choice. Not for us, but our children’s future. Invite your sales team to describe in more detail what EKOMER means. KarlsonHus was the first ever Swedish house manufacturer to be granted ISO-14001. ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard, establishing the basis for environmental management, and which can be used in all types of organisatons within all different types of industries. *Passive house is a conceptual idea for low energy housing, which has a specific technology and build system.
