The new farmhouse is placed around 150m from the old farmbuildings, not to disturb the completed cluster of these farmbuildings. The immediate surroundings have extraordinary qualities, large trees, stonewalls, a slope with grass and stones resembling Japanese gardens and a distant view of sea.
\nThe house utilizes an old pigsty as a foundation for the house, also providing the house with utility-spaces; storage and laundry\/farm-entrance. The new volume is raised above ground to leave the ground as untouched as possible. The main volume of the house is small, only 118sqm, and it was built with a very limited budget. The plan is simple, a cross in the middle of the rectangle is providing space for storage, bathroom, entrance, etc. Crosswise the core is slightly offset to make the kitchen and living-room deeper than the 4 other (sleeping-)rooms of the house. The plan offers the users different movement-patterns in spite of the modest size. The body of the house is like a tunnel, with the ends all open, making the house seem symmetrical, but the relation with the surroundings opposes this symmetry; very intimate on one side, wide open on the other. Both kitchen and living-room have raised ceilings. The house is to a high degree prefabricated, using massiv-wood technology for both floor, lateral walls and roof. The prefabricated wood (spruce) is left in its natural state. The cores are conventionally built and painted black.<\/p>\n
