The Dune House by Min2

Jetty and Maarten Min, of Bergen office Min2, designed the three-storey Dune House on a coastal dune in Bergen and used unfinished timber, clay tiles and curved profiles to help the building fit in with its rural setting. "An important design topic was to connect the form and the materialisation of the house with the place where it is situated," they explained.

"The high tall form had to fit in the dune landscape. During the design process this form became one of a dune or of a windswept group of trees sloping along with the worn landscape near the sea. " Offering a twist on the traditional mansard roof, the house is wrapped on three sides by a skin of clay tiles, which were designed by Jetty Min with bespoke dimensions. "These tiles give the impression of pot-lid shelves," said the architects. Design Interior. Habitat eco/bioclimatique. Vivre dans une maison de hobbit.

Une bergerie en ruine encore bien conservée avait l’habitation du berger sur son toit et le reste du toit couvert de terre et de hautes herbes. Le berger profitait ainsi de la chaleur des animaux et la terre, excellent isolant, ainsi que les hautes herbes qui limitent le vent sur le toit offraient une isolation thermique remarquable.

En hivers il faut ajouter la neige, meilleur isolant naturel qui soit. Dedans il fait doux en été, frais en hiver. Sur le coup j’ai trouvé l’idée géniale et depuis je me dit que si je doit acheter une maison un jour, je ferait construire sur ce principe. Le rêve a germé et les idées sont passées de "bunker" à "murs inclinés pour faire pousser dessus". Voici les variantes auxquelles j’ai pensé : Le modèle du pauvre : construisez votre maison vous-même habitation troglodyte viking bunker.
