SKAARA Arkitekter AS's new building replaces an old derelict barn, and complies a sheltered court yard together with the existing main building which accommodates a small apartment, sauna/fitness room and a double garage with storage space. The Architects have created three pitched roofs to represent their new interpretation of the old saddle roof. The building is constructed with a masonry ground floor base with natural stone facing and laminated wooden beams in the roof structure. The gables are clad with timber battens and the roofing material is of wood boards. Due to this, it is highly insulated in order to reduce energy demands. Windows are of low energy class and heat is supplied by a heat pump. The Architects have also painted the wooden facades with environmentally friendly matt 'Falurød' paint which give the building a soft red tone. Meanwhile the interior are a mix of oak flooring, silver varnished wood panels and natural stone.
