[...] Farm House / JVA This is a small house for two historians and their children, overlooking lake Mjøsa at an abandoned farm which they have inherited. The existing old house in the yard is not insulated and used for guests and storage. The existing barn has to be torn down because the main load bearing construction is rotten (read more…) [...]

I dont like interior, it is booooring, but facade is quite fun but also as someone said i dont like windows placement, btw on some sides they are to small. knowing that on north there is not much daylight.

Love this quirky Norwegian farmhouse with lots of natural light & simple, bright interior typical of Scandanavian design http://bit.ly/Fm46B

It’s funny how messy this house looks on the outside and clean on the inside. I would agree it looks small but isn’t actually. Something doesn’t work to me, maybe it’s the pictures. Although I like the concept behind the design (winter sun to enter the building etc…) I think it’s the outside look that I can’t like.

cladding:
it just uses the reality of the tree that narrows down to the top to create angled cladding boards, so more parts of the same tree can be used. Very efficient use of timber that connect very well to the site conditions.
size:
It is funny how Americans(?) consider European houses always small, but look at your energy bill and you understand there’s no need for all this excess space. How much m2 do you really need to feel comfortable in such beautiful landscape?

Very nice design. I don’t think 165 m² is small house for 2 + 2 people. I would say that’s quite normal size in Scandinavia.

Man, the Arch Daily audience is pretty funny: loving this little house, which is decent sure, but hardly “ingenious”" or so “clever” (somewhat excepting the optical-illusion siding and the long section). But when work is posted here that dares to go beyond the vernacular, it often gets seriously dogged (like many of the Ordos villa designs). And Terry, I beg to differ that architecture is “all about” gesture. Most work that is gestural at heart is often open to criticism for that very issue. In the case of this house, it luckily seems to transcend gesture, becoming more spatially motivated within, while sticking to a vernacular language overall.

The windows are fantastic. I wonder who makes them?

Such a clever plan…
It is a small house, yet hugely interesting and varied. I suggest archdaily makes a special scandinavian section, it seems to always come up with a more humane approach to architecture.

I am also wondering how cost effective this type of house is…

Actually, I think the exterior cladding that follows the contour of the land is an ingenious touch to an overall ingenious house. To me this is what architecture is all about – gesture. This has the gestural energy of wonderful buildings like the Cabanon. This house demonstrates that very simple materials can be used to enormous effect without much fuss.

The plans are as beautiful as the result. I am sure the owners love living here.

The exterior cladding at the bottom parts of the house should have been kept straight rather than angled. It looks somehow unfinished on the outside. The interior is quite fun, but the photos make it seem small. Not a bad little shack.
