Much effort has been made in making a modern design in respect of the 60's modernist design. The house is sentered around a central staircase which functions as a air ventilation between the different stories.

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.
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.
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.
