When it comes to its program Not Quite Egnahemsfabriken is inspired by two already existing organizations/businesses: the art and crafts collective Not Quite located in Fengersfors, and the house building member organization Egnahemsfabriken located in Tjörn. Both businesses act in rural areas and are, through their practices, contributing to both environmental and social sustainability in their local society. The project aims to follow their lead in offering a space where people can bring matter into their own hands and together create the lives and environment (or things) they wish for without having to rely on bigger corporations or slow political decisions. The site for the project is a somewhat forgotten but interesting industrial park with big parts of the concrete slab making up the area left unused. Placing the project here gives the possibility to give the area a new direction and also the advantage of not having to occupy any virgin land. Architecturally the building is a play with the desire to discover as you move around the structure as well as a game of strictly holding onto the rules until you cannot anymore.
