En bok om arkitektur som går bortom ritningar. SAND handlar om att satsa på sin dröm. Vi lever ju bara en gång och att få förverkliga drömmen om att bygga sitt eget hus är en fantastisk upplevelse. Men ett husprojekt är inte helt enkelt. Den här boken går bortom husritningar och visar på människor som kommer att leva i huset, deras känslor och deras förhållande till sitt hem. Unika hem med människornas vardag i fokus.

The text weaves a narrative of a shared life in a house, that gets expanded and revised - whilst being owned by 2 architects.
Some of the house seems vacant, not in a minimalist way, more in the ‘empty summer house' way, before everything gets set up after being vacated over winter, but it's not a summerhouse. Only the kitchen and workshop really seem alive.
There are some very interesting details like the timber steps and patina in the courtyard. The Japanese elements that are also so very Scandinavian.
I'm not sure about the book.
I really found it interesting, but somehow lacking and it's an unsettling feeling.
It might have been a balance to see how the overnighting apartment was executed and lived in, even though outside the scope of the book.
It'll be interesting to see the next book in the series.
