In the beginning glimpse, Saltviga Home appears like a minimalist, shingled villa set down atop a rocky bluff on Norway’s southern coast– however the outside cladding, and the interiors, too, are a lot more complicated than it appears. Focus and you’ll see over 20,000 stainless-steel screws and not a single standard shingle. Each piece of wood, inside and out, is in fact remaining German oak from Dinesen‘s floor covering factory. Yes, the whole home was developed with scraps.
This outstanding architectural task is the work of Stockholm-based studio Kolman Boye Architects Creators Erik Kolman Janouch and Victor Boye Julebäk had actually formerly worked together with the sustainability-minded Danish floor covering brand name, so the duo sensed they would be on board. “They’re extremely crazy about utilizing all of the trees in their jobs,” Erik states of Dinesen. “They wish to utilize whatever from the trunk so absolutely nothing is squandered. So for them, this resembled a blessing. They enjoyed the concept.”
Encouraging the house owners of the strategy was simple, too, because they were offered the chance to acquire Dinesen’s premium products for a portion of the cost. And while they wound up investing more on labor to change disposed of wood into equally sized pieces for the exterior, they still triumphed with an unique, environment-friendly home that agrees with its rugged surrounds.
Let’s take a trip.
