PROJECT INFORMATION
Residential new build in Sandet
Et Skovhus – a holiday home built with timber, reuse and bio-based materials. The 100 m² timber house is shared by two families and was developed with the ambition of creating a healthy holiday home with the lowest possible climate and resource footprint. Designed by the owners themselves, the house was built in collaboration with Winther, a sixth-generation carpentry company. The design is based on five key principles: 1. a healthy home using low-emission materials and minimal foundations, 2. a resource-efficient home using bio-based materials, 3. direct reuse and industrial upcycling, 4. efficient use of the 100 m² footprint, 5. high-quality craftsmanship with materials that are easy to maintain, and a house designed to fit naturally into its surroundings. Above ground, the house exclusively uses bio-based, industrially upcycled and reused materials. a:gain contributed Bronsø for the facade and terrace as well as Viddø windowsolutions. Other solutions include reused beech parquet flooring from Gellerupparken and a reused toilet supplied by GreenDozer, alongside bio-based construction solutions from Hunton and Økonatur. The result is a holiday home where material choices, craftsmanship and reuse have been considered as an integrated part of the design from the very beginning.
