About Selfors Domus

Selfors est domus creata per instaurationem villae modernisticae annis 1960 aedificatae. Villa originalis partim mutata erat additione praefabricata annis 1980. Nova ratio character modernisticum aedificii prioris observat. Domus trium tabulatorum ducenta metra quadrata continet et circa scalam centralem disponitur, quae velut canalis naturalis ventilationis inter tabulata funguntur. Frons meridiana vitrata lumen solis colligit. Structura lignea originalis rursus adhibita est, et nova frons novaeque fenestrae additae sunt. Spatia exteriora tecta domum circumdant.

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.
