About Senja キャビン

セニャは、ノルウェー北部の小さな漁村の近くに建てられた家族のためのキャビンである。設計は、大きな岩の下に避難所を設けるというサーミの「ヘッレル」の伝統に着想を得ている。建物のヴォリュームは石のような形状をしており、その稜線は近隣の山々の輪郭に呼応し、風景に向かって開かれた大きなパノラマ窓を備えている。木製のファサードは周囲の環境に溶け込むようダークグレーに塗装されている。主玄関は建物のマッスを削り取るように設けられ、屋外の庇下空間を形成している。内部では、パインの壁、オークの床、ルーバー状の木製天井が暖炉を囲んでいる。

Production Technology
The cabin has a wooden facade painted in dark grey to naturally blend in with the surrounding nature. The windows are made of wood/aluminium with details in steel to protect from the harsh winterstorms. The main entrance in carved into the building mass and creates a sheltered space to relax.

Inside the cabin the walls are covered with pine boards, oak floors and a 45x45 wooden slated ceiling. This creates a warm and cozy atmosphere to relax by the fireplace.

Design Challenge
Adopting to a delicate landscape
Research
By studying old Sami building traditions, we found the ancient tradition of “Heller” where Sami*s would find shelter and build a cottage under large rocks. By shaping the building envelope like a stone with natural lines similar to the mountains, one could make a large panorama window in this shape. The project then becomes a "rock with a view" that settles naturally in the terrain - hidden by the forest from neighbours and the main road. Still on the inside of the cabin you feel like being part of nature.

Project Duration
2017-2020 Senja, Norway
Operation Flow
The cabin is designed specifically to open ut to nature with panoramic views to the surrounding mountains. As the the weather can change drastically in hours it is important to have the option of both a sheltered outdoor space - and a climatized indoor space where you feel part of nature. At the dinner table, one gathers the family with a view a panoramic view of the mountains - the lines between inside and outside have been blurred and the space changes in tune with the light and landscape.
