The Design

About Selfors Casa

Selfors é uma casa criada a partir da reabilitação de uma villa modernista da década de 1960. A villa original foi parcialmente alterada por um acréscimo pré-fabricado nos anos 1980. O novo projeto respeita o caráter modernista da construção anterior. A casa de três pavimentos ocupa 200 metros quadrados e organiza-se em torno de uma escada central que funciona como um poço de ventilação natural entre os pisos. Uma fachada sul envidraçada capta a luz solar. A estrutura de madeira original foi reaproveitada, e uma nova fachada e novas janelas foram acrescentadas. Espaços exteriores abrigados envolvem a casa.

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.
