The Design

About Selfors Haus

Selfors ass en Haus, dat duerch d'Renovatioun vun enger modernistescher Villa aus den 1960er Joren entstanen ass. Déi ursprénglech Villa gouf an den 1980er Joren deelweis duerch e virfabrizéierten Uebau verännert. Den neien Design respektéiert de modernisteschen Charakter vum fréiere Gebai. D'Haus mat dräi Stäck deckt 200 Quadratmeter of a gëtt ronderëm eng zentral Trap organiséiert, déi als natierleche Ventilatiounsschacht tëscht den Etagen fungéiert. Eng verglaste Südfassad sammelt Sonnenliicht. Déi originell Holzstruktur gouf nees benotzt, an eng nei Fassad esou wéi nei Fënsteren goufen dobäigesat. Geschützte Aussenberäicher ëmginn d'Haus.

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.
