Naturintegrert boligdesign

The 'House in between trees' project is a residential construction in Årvoll, Norway designed to harmonize with its natural environment. The house is strategically positioned between a pine and a maple tree, with a fully glazed façade opening towards the southern sunlight garden. This design leverages the landscape, stepping up in three platforms to align with the ascending terrain, integrating common rooms that take advantage of the southern sun and garden view.

Lysmaksimering og privatliv

On the second floor, the house features three functional units encompassing common spaces that access both southern and northern light. This level is also home to the children's and parents' bedrooms, as well as bathrooms. Special attention has been given to maximizing natural light with glazed strips on the east and west of the building that also foster a visual connection with the surrounding trees.

Bærekraftig byggemetode

Structurally, the house employs glulam beams and columns with CLT panels for stabilization, and the building's envelope is also constructed with CLT. Aesthetic variation in the cladding delineates the programmatic division of the floors. Moreover, sustainability features such as a cantilevered Pergola and solar panels are included to enhance energy efficiency by managing sun penetration and providing renewable energy. The project timeline spans from 2021 to 2023 and covers a total area of 200 m2 for a single-family house.
