Tubakuba is a cliffhanger on the city-mountains, overlooking the Bergen valley, families can lend it for free from the municipality, spend a night and experience the great outdoors, easily accessible by the nearby funicular.
The project is the result of a design-build workshop with KULL 27 at BAS, Bergen School of Architecture, lead by OPA FORM architects.
Tubacuba is constructed of 95 percent wood. The interior is clad in plywood, while flexible wooden boards of western Norwegian pine and the exterior, is clad with burned larch. The tunnel consists of curved shavings of pine mounted in layers to provide sufficient strength, while the south wall is clad with untreated larch which will turn gray with time. The burned cladding is made with the traditional Japanese method Shou Sugi Ban, the method prevents fungal decay and damage. Tubakuba has no electricity, the minimized interior is heated by a litle stove, guests bring their own wood.
Students team: Gunnar Sørås, Bent Brørs, Ida Helen Skogstad, Adrian Højfeldt, Eivind Lechbrandt, Alice Guan, Luise Storch, Eline Moe Eidvin, Shepol Barzan, Øyvind Kristiansen, Stein Atle Juvik, Eva Bull, Kristian Bøysen, Sondre Bakken
Professors: Espen Folgerø, Håvard Austvoll, Sigurdur Gunnarsson, Hans Christian Elstad
