24H > architecture – Holanda

Vida de movimientos lentos, doble piel en el letargo del invierno y el susurro del agua en verano. La tejas de cedro van tornándose grises con los años.
El interior se inspira en la cultura de los Sami, que perciben el alma de las cosas, y en la aurora boreal. Los pasos sobre la plataforma extendida hacen tintinear la lámpara Birdie de Ingo Maurer.

Lámpara Birdie de Ingo Maurer

During the summer the building can change its form or, like a butterfly, unfold its wings for extra shelter during rainy days.

The addition is for a house from the year 1800, located on the banks of Ovre Gla Lake in the Swiss nature reserve of Glaskogen.

Regulations limited the amount of construction that could be done on the exterior of the building and proscribed a 4.5 meter green space around the stream that encloses the area. 24H came up with a telescoping cabin, adding to the usable surface and arching out over the stream. This accentuates the organic shapes of the design, which emulates the rustic surroundings.

Project desciption

This extension is to an original cabin from the 1800’s, located on the shore of the lake Övre Gla in the nature reserve Glaskogen in Sweden. According to Swedish building regulations it is not allowed to make an extension that exceeds a maximum floor area. A second priority for the building regulations is its proximity to the border of the estate, in this case the extraordinary location along a stream, which forms part of the site boundary. The building should stay 4,5 meters clear of the site boundary.

Extension to house on Övre Gla, Sweden

To use the maximum of possibilities given by the building regulations 24h made an extension to the cabin that can evolve, the building can literally adjust itself to its environment depending on weather conditions, season or the number of occupants. The extension unfurls like a butterfly; during the winter it’s a cocoon, compact with a double skin against the cold. During the summer the building can change its form or, like a butterfly, unfold its wings for extra shelter during rainy days.
When the space is at its biggest, the senses are aroused to the max: living above the water of the stream.

The organic shape of the house blends naturally into the setting of the rough forest. Traditional roofing materials (Stickor), that were common in Sweden many years ago, were used in a contemporary way. The choice of cedar wood for the Stickor, originated from Canada, is because it needs no maintenance. In due time the wood will have a grey appearance fitting itself smoothly in the rough rocky forest landscape.
The amorphous structure with the hornlike chimney and the undulating lines of cedar shingle skin lends the building a reptilian appearance.

Closely following the biomorphic curves of the rib cage, the interior walls are finished with pine lattice. The walls of the retractable extension are covered in reindeer hides, turning the living area into a sensuous fur-lined cave. Inspired by the Sámi culture of the northern Scandinavia, this treatment acts as excellent insulation. There are few hours of darkness during the Swedish summer, but light fixtures were carefully chosen to blend with the natural surroundings. Footsteps in the living area cause Ingo Maurer's Birdie chandelier to tremble overhead. Above the kitchen and dining area, custom red polycarbonate ceiling fixtures were inspired by the aurora borealis.
