A fictive project from first year of NSCS, where we was assigned a private residence, build in 1930 and also a part of a townhouse complex. The architecture has strong roots to the functionalism and the owners wanted a interior that reflected this. Also beeing placed in the suburbs with a sea-view, we had to think about the surroundings, sunlight and view from windows.
Illustrations drawn by hand with pen and colored with markers.
My consept for this assignment was to bring in nowegian tendencies and use interior and colors that reprecented Norwegian history and culture, as well as combinding them with modern furnitures that reflects the functionalism from the 1930s. Basically I wanted to bring in the colors used in the Bunad blanket (picture to the left) in the rooms and on the furniture. Main colors are orange, red and green. Designed by Andreas Engesvik, after Fusa, a variation of the norweigan national suit, and also an example of modern norwegian design with strong connections to our culture and history. The picture to the right is the Y-chair by Hans Wegner, an important timepiece from the functionalism and an example of the wood and style used on the furnitures of this assignment.
Plan showing the first floor of the house with lighting. In the kitchen, livingroom, hallway and staircase there are existing birch hardwood floors, sharpened and treated with oil. To match the colours from the consept I chose lamps that also had these same colors, but varied the shape and size. The lamps are also cosen to illustrate a modern take on the lights from this style period and by their scandinavian brand.
