The unique and remarkable property named ‘Sjövilla 210’ perfectly embodies Scandinavia’s ambitious design culture, constructed with materials chosen to function to the highest standard in marine conditions. Complementing AquaVilla’s dynamic design ethos, Kebony, a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects, was selected for every piece of timber used throughout the build including the exterior walls, pontoon deck and roof terrace. The brainchild of Richard Bergstrom, AquaVilla is now Sweden’s leading developer of buildings on water following twenty five years of research and development. This exciting concept encompasses an innovative infrastructure solution in which Aqua Pier and Aqua Docking Buffer guarantee that all villas remain permanently anchored and completely unaffected by the movement of the sea.
