HOUSING:
”Fingers” not touching the ground
The different volumes cut through the landscape to concentrate and enhance the encounters with the nature. It challenges the traditional concept of how a sustainable housing area looks. Sustainability and estheticism walk hand-in-hand.

3 Shelter 2.
Rather than trying to create scenery we wanted to construct as little as possible. In order to make the nature play a more important role than the objects, the landscape has been very sensitively changed. In the central area between the houses the objects are inserted just like small objects in the landscape. The contour (road) plays a social role and is constructed of stone from the site and is lined with small social spaces. Whether it is a platform or a bench, the designed object takes an assisting rather than dominating role in contributing to the landscape.

6 The creek The “Biological Purification” generates quality fertilizer and water that can easily be disposed into the creek on site, without any risks to the environment.
7 District heating
Hot water for radiators and separate use is created by solar panels on each individual house. Additional warmth is provided by the split box system.

The plan is created by the collision of two bended rectangles. Functional boxes give shape to a generic room that changes with the turning of wallpanels. The upward tilted living area and terras provide a unique perspective as they stretch over the cliff.
