Excerpt: T-House designed by Sanden+Hodnekvam Architects is a reinterpretation of the traditional housing buildings in the area, Trønderlåna. The exterior adapts to the scale and materiality of the surroundings, while the interior shows a new take on the vernacular typology. The house consists of three wings creating two outdoor spaces, each with its own distinct character.

The house consists of three wings creating two outdoor spaces, each with its own distinct character. Wooden frame construction creates the logic of the house, both programmatic and constructional.

The frames create different zones in the open plan. Birch plywood is systematically cut and mounted, with a minimum of leftover material. Charred pine boards in small dimensions correspond to the rhythm of the curves of the aluminium roof.
