House Riihi

Alajärvi, Finland

Project of the Day on Jul 05, 2014
YEAR
2014
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
The building was commissioned by a family of an entrepreneur father, an artist mother, and two sons, who needed a house with spaces to live in, accompanied by spaces for their hobbies and a studio to serve as an atelier.
The house blends in with the surrounding landscape through its shape and materials. The composition subtly recalls the feeling of a traditional Finnish farm, in which wooden cottages were arranged so as to form a protected inner courtyard with the buildings facing the courtyard. In this case, the three buildings, the house, the atelier, and the garage, give shape to an intimate garden, creating an optimal microclimate around the house by minimizing the impact of the northerly winds blowing in the valley.
Being a low energy building, the L-shaped house is made of wood in its exterior, interior, and frame, with large pitched roofs clad in aluminum reflecting the landscape in an unexpected way. Compressed wood has been used for insulation and paper has been used for sealing. All metal parts in the building are made of untreated aluminum. Materials and technical solutions create a healthy and ecological building which can be recycled when it reaches the end of its life cycle.
