![]() The approach is characteristic of the studio’s design principles, based on great sensitivity to experiential aspects, cultural heritage, and physical architectural qualities. The sustainability of the structure is based on two aspects binding as much CO2 as possible by using a timber construction and using leftover wood from Dinesen’s plank production to maximize the lifespan of the offcuts by giving them a new function. Saltviga House blends in with the landscape on Norway’s coastline | all images by Johan DehlinĪn aesthetic design with an environmentally conscious profileįor ‘Saltviga House’, the design team at Kolman Boye utilizes an entire tree trunk for the construction, aiming for a building that subjects itself to and coexists with its surroundings standing in harmony with nature without leaving a harmful carbon footprint. Intending for a meaningful and enduring project, the design team repurposes discarded resources and utilizes affordable yet sturdy materiality throughout the construction. Each piece of leftover wood undertakes examination, processing, and preparation before application. In-depth analysis of terrain and climate and careful processing of the materials hold important aspects of the process. The concept of the design focuses on the unique properties of the natural material of wood, its tactile expression and dimensions, and the blemishes and weathers forming over time. Perching over a rocky slope between the ocean and the wild forest, the volume is composed of 12.000 pieces of offcuts in Dinesen Oak and Douglas. Aiming for a sustainable design and a responsible approach to architecture, the family home interferes with the Norwegian landscape, blending into the setting and respecting the surrounding rocks and stones, dense growths of firs, and living nature. ‘Saltviga House’ project driven by designers Erik Kolman’s and Victor Boye’s curiosity about gentleness and repurposing of matter, sets up a unique timber structure applying offcuts from the production of Dinesen Oak planks. Stockholm-based Kolman Boye Architects experiments with leftover materials to construct a one-of-a-kind wooden house standing on the south coast of Norway.
