This impressive architectural feat of Saltviga House in Norway features an exterior clad with over 20,000 stainless steel screws and leftover German oak from Dinesen's flooring factory, showcasing a blend of sustainability, innovation, and intricate design.
Kolman Boye Architects, the masterminds behind the design, collaborated with Dinesen, known for their commitment to sustainability and utilizing all parts of trees in projects, making Saltviga House a testament to reusing materials and minimizing waste.
The homeowners were keen on the project as they had the chance to purchase high-quality Dinesen materials at reduced prices, resulting in a unique, eco-friendly home that, despite requiring more labor for the facade, harmonizes perfectly with its rugged environment.
The design philosophy aimed at seamlessly integrating Saltviga House with the forest landscape, creating a near-invisible appearance that mimics the natural surroundings, with the oak exterior maturing over time to blend even more with the environment.
