About Selfors Dar

Selfors hija dar maħluqa permezz tar-riabilitazzjoni ta' villa modernista mis-snin sittin. Il-villa oriġinali kienet parzjalment mibdula minn żieda prefabbrikata fis-snin tmenin. Id-disinn il-ġdid jirrispetta l-karattru modernist tal-bini preċedenti. Id-dar ta' tliet sulari tkopri 200 metru kwadru u hija arranġata madwar taraġ ċentrali li jaġixxi bħala kanal ta' ventilazzjoni naturali bejn is-sulari. Faċċata mgħammra bil-ħġieġ lejn in-nofsinhar tiġbor id-dawl tax-xemx. L-istruttura oriġinali tal-injam ġiet użata mill-ġdid, u ġew miżjuda faċċata ġdida u twieqi ġodda. Spazji miftuħa mħarsa jdawru d-dar.

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.
