The Design

About Selfors Vivienda

Selfors es una vivienda creada a partir de la rehabilitación de una villa modernista de los años sesenta. La villa original había sido parcialmente alterada por una ampliación prefabricada en los años ochenta. El nuevo diseño respeta el carácter modernista de la edificación preexistente. La casa, de tres plantas, ocupa 200 metros cuadrados y se organiza en torno a una escalera central que funciona como conducto de ventilación natural entre los niveles. Una fachada sur acristalada capta la luz solar. Se reutilizó la estructura de madera original y se incorporaron una nueva fachada y nuevas ventanas. Espacios exteriores resguardados rodean la vivienda.

Production Technology: Upcycling - The house is a original 1950 house that was refurbished in the 1980´s. We have reused the original wood construction of the house and added new facade, windows, and moved interior walls.
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.
