Located in front of the Sætres waterfront, the house proposes to inhabit the shade generated between the ground floor plan and the roof. A large cantilever allows to stop the intense snow and to protect from the abundant rains of the area of Sætre.
Deep inside there is a brick body that gives privacy to the rooms and provides the desired warmth. Thus, four limits appear: the plane, the shadow, the glass that allows the interior to be climatized, and finally, the wood one.
The structural effort allows to open the space directly to the landscape without interruptions. The access is finded in the upper street. From this point, the water of the roof is observed in an attempt to blur the architecture to mimic it in the natural environment.
