Aiming for a sustainable design and a accountable method to structure, the household residence interferes with the Norwegian panorama, mixing into the setting and respecting the encircling rocks and stones, dense growths of firs, and residing nature. Perching over a rocky slope between the ocean and the wild forest, the quantity consists of 12.000 items of offcuts in Dinesen Oak and Douglas.
The idea of the design focuses on the distinctive properties of the pure materials of wooden, its tactile expression and dimensions, and the blemishes and weathers forming over time. In-depth evaluation of terrain and local weather and cautious processing of the supplies maintain essential elements of the method. Every bit of leftover wooden undertakes examination, processing, and preparation earlier than utility.

The sustainability of the construction relies on two elements; binding as a lot CO2 as potential through the use of a timber development and utilizing leftover wooden from Dinesen’s plank manufacturing to maximise the lifespan of the offcuts by giving them a brand new perform. The method is attribute of the studio’s design rules, based mostly on nice sensitivity to experiential elements, cultural heritage, and bodily architectural qualities. Thus, a necessary a part of the idea is the development of an aesthetic home with an environmentally and culturally acutely aware profile.
The design additionally prompts the senses of sound, contact, and odor by advantage of its materiality and its interplay with the panorama. The home is distributed over a number of buildings on 5 completely different ranges to adapt to the positioning. Each constructing part has a selected function and reference to the setting. The present topography results in the architectural determination to attenuate the influence of the newly constructed quantity on nature. The slim paths formed via the forest flooring are preserved, and the structure accommodates the pure view of the ocean in between the trunks of the outdated timber.
