Located on the island of Troy on the south coast of Norway, House 1 features pine forests, rocky beaches and wild coastal landscapes. The project consists of a small house and an outbuilding, designed by architects Eirik Mikal Stokke and Espen Robstad Heggertveit as part of its Oslo-based elevation extrusion diagram architects ( speed ) .
The plot is in close proximity to the beach and nature reserve, and clients go swimming with friends every Sunday throughout the year. Much of the site is made up of exposed rock, so the house was pulled back to avoid unnecessary excavation. The living room opens up to the landscape, allowing you to step directly into the rocky wilderness of the heather. The house faces the sea, but is designed to be sheltered from the wind. The house curves along a 26 meter curve and there are several nooks and pockets on each side of the house, ensuring that there is always a space shaded by the sun.
All rooms are on the same floor and have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a walk-in closet, a laundry room and a spacious hallway, as well as a continuous space containing the living room, dining room and kitchen. The outbuilding has a small living room, kitchen, bathroom and a loft bed. The sauna has a separate entrance, close to the outdoor showers, and is also located in the outbuilding. In the warm summer months, the house is open to the surroundings – directly accessible from every bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen – with a blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.
The house was designed to accommodate the lifestyle of the client – living alone, but also providing space for children, grandchildren and friends. The restaurant thus became the most important space, with wide glass doors sliding towards the sides of the house. On special occasions, long tables can stretch from the kitchen all the way to the living room, or from the dining room all the way to the openings on both sides.
Due to the tight budget of the project, innovative ideas and clear priorities were needed. The building's clt structure ensures millimeter accuracy. Indoors, the wooden walls are exposed and untreated, giving the house a certain sense of originality while still remaining refined and warm. This brings the client's own furniture, artwork and objects to the center stage.
In contrast, the interior sliding doors made by a local auto repair shop are painted in eye-catching colors in peach, lemon and turquoise. Outdoors, inexpensive industrial materials are being used in new ways, such as pergolas and garages, where fiberglass panels for cowsheds filter sunlight, while fences along the terraces consist of stone cages filled with island rocks that serve as sound barriers along the highway.
The outside of the house is covered with treated pine, which over time turns gray to match the aluminum roof and window frames. Since the house is maintenance-free, the client is free to enjoy the scenery and invite her friends over for a sauna and cold bath after a Sunday swim.
