About Selfors Huis

Selfors is 'n huis wat geskep is deur die opknapping van 'n modernistiese villa uit die 1960's. Die oorspronklike villa is gedeeltelik verander deur 'n voorafvervaardigde aanbou in die 1980's. Die nuwe ontwerp respekteer die modernistiese karakter van die vroeëre gebou. Die driëverdieping-huis beslaan 200 vierkante meter en is gerangskik rondom 'n sentrale trap wat as 'n natuurlike ventilasieskag tussen die verdiepings dien. 'n Geglasuurde suidelike voorgewel vang sonlig op. Die oorspronklike houtstruktuur is hergebruik, en 'n nuwe voorgewel en nuwe vensters is bygevoeg. Beskutte buitelugruimtes omring die huis.

Design Challenge: The house is a rehabilitation of a modernist villa from 1960 which was partially destroyed by a prefabricated design in the 80's. The house is centered around and central staircase that acts as air ventilation shaft between the different floors. A lot of work has been put into creating microclimatic spaces around the house to provide shelter and outdoor spaces for the residents.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by natural ventilation principles where the sun is collected in a southward facade with glass and ventilated through a central staircase.
Project Duration: The project started 2011 and the building was finished in 2014 in Mo I Rana.
Operation Flow: The house follows the rhythm of nature. You wake up with a view to nature and morning sunrise. In the kitchen and living room you enjoy the midday and afternoon sun. The house follows the natural southern inclined terrain and collects energy from the sun. The house is naturally ventilated through a central staircase.
