Flishuset
Norway - Ørje
Public - Community space
Flishuset completes the transformation of an old sawmill into museum and event grounds, adding two open, flexible spaces for exhibitions, meetings and education. Gable roof, timber construction, red-painted facade: at rest, the building is almost indistinguishable from the agricultural structures around it. The difference lies in what it can do.
2024
The facade carries a run of barn doors and shutters that echo the hoisted doors of the original woodchip house. Shut, the building filters daylight between its boards, just as it always has. Open, the ground floor becomes a continuous plane that takes in the activity of the whole site. Inside, the exposed structure reworks the original barn frame, joined with traditional techniques.
