Venturo was intended to be a “people’s cottage” – a holiday home that everyone could afford, demountable, easy to transport, and made from the futuristic material of the 1970s: plastic. But the 1972 oil crisis made plastic expensive, and only 19 houses were produced. Today, Venturo is a rarity, with only three examples remaining. Kivik Art Centre’s example is 45 m² and assembled from three modules. It was renovated in 2009 when it was placed in the park.

The idea of the Venturo was to be a cottage for everyone – affordable, easy to assemble and transport, and constructed of plastic – the material of the future, at the time. But the oil crisis in 1972 made plastic expensive and put the production to an end. Only 19 houses were built. Today the Venturo is an architectural rarity, only three copies are left. This one is 45 m2, composed of three separate modules and was renovated in 2009 before placed on the premises.
