Saltviga House / Kolman Boye Architects

The Saltviga House is a recreational home built out of oak and Douglas off-cuts from Dinesen's floor production. The house blends subtly into the boreal forest on the Norwegian southeastern coastline adapting to the particulars of the local landscape. By combining ennobled timber scraps with a reassessment of historical building vocabularies, the Saltviga House employs an updated architectural language of resource efficiency.
