About Senja Mahi Tuatahi: Whare Noho
Kōrero Pukapuka: Ko Senja he whare noho whānau i hangaia tata ki tētahi kāinga hī ika iti i te raki o Norewhē. Ka hāngai te hoahoa ki te tikanga Sami o te Heller, he wāhi whakaruruhau i hangaia i raro i ngā toka nunui. Ko te āhua o te whare kei te rite ki te kōhatu, me ōna rārangi e whai ana i ngā maunga tata, ā, kei roto he matapihi nui e titiro whānui ana ki te whenua. Ko te mata rākau kua peitatia ki te kerei pōuri kia rite ki tōna taiao. Ko te tomokanga matua kua whakairohia ki roto i te ao whare, ā, ka hanga i tētahi wāhi noho i waho e whakamarumaru ana. I roto, ko ngā pakitara paina, ngā papa oki me te tuanui rākau papapa e karapoti ana i tētahi ahi whare.

- 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.
A - 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.
