Norsk Skogfinsk Museum

 

Location: Svullrya, NO

Year: 2017

Type: International Competition

Status: Completed

Team: Flavio Martella, Maria Vittoria Tesei

The new museum building is designed to effectively integrate with the nature and culture of the Skogfinsk. Therefore the building not only rises near the river and in the forest, but the forest enters the project thanks to an internal patio that allows the continuation of the forest atmosphere and guarantees a continuous immersion in total relationship with the Skogfinsk’s naturalness. The interior space is enclosed, protected and welcoming, as their homes, and, always as their homes, has few openings: the entrance and the terrace. The compact volume facilitates the maintenance of the internal microclimate and, thanks to the different heights of internal functions, a good circulation of air is also guaranteed. An additional connection to the tradition of the Skogfinsk people is visible thanks to the use of wood as ubiquitous material. Raw wood outside to enhance the purity of the geometry and to highlight the recall to their homes. Burnt wood in the only two openings of the building (entrance and terrace), to recall the passage of the Skogfinsk and their typical fertilization technique; in fact, meaning the building as an element of the nature of the place, was burned by the intervention of skogfinsk. Refined and warm wood for the interior, to facilitate the comfort of the visitors.
