2019. Construction of a new cabin at Lista. The building is located close to the rough North sea, and is based upon the novel written by american nature writer Henry Beston in 1929, 'The Outermost House'. A chronicle of a solitary year spent on a Cape Cod beach, The Outermost House has long been recognized as a classic of American nature writing. Henry Beston had originally planned to spend just two weeks in his seaside home, but was so possessed by the mysterious beauty of his surroundings that he found he "could not go." Instead, he sat down to try and capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to: the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued that, "The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot." Seventy-five years after they were first published, Beston's words are more true than ever.
Work in progress.
RESTORATION OF A BARN/ LISTEID
2018. 7 dwellings built for persons with both substance abuse and mental disorders.
The dwellings are all about making a secure and safe framework for the residents. Overview and control related to who enters and leaves the area are essential, both for the staff and the residents. On the outside of the facilities there are no doors or windows to open. The windows are constructed with unbreakable glass. The dwellings are built with very robust materials and all detailing and interior are vandal proof.The dwellings are small L-shaped houses with private gardens as part of a common courtyard. The concept is about tuning the transitions between the private, the semi-private, common areas, the semi-public and the public spheres.
The dwellings are organized with an open plan. The bathroom separates the sleeping and the living areas, and eliminates the need for interior doors (except to the bathroom). Windows are shaped and placed to give different characters to different areas. In the sleeping area there are low windows from the floor up, protecting the resident from being seen from the outside and making the room feel like a safe and gloomy cave. In the living area there are low window in seating height and another high-placed window to fetch more of the light from the sky. In addition to the 7 dwellings the facility consists of a common house with administration, kitchen, dining room and laundry room.
