Aurora Fjell Mansion
Situated amidst the rugged landscapes of northern Norway, atop a gentle rise overlooking a glacial fjord, the Aurora Fjell Mansion has been commissioned as a private residence for a couple of philanthropists and contemporary art collectors. The clients seek a radical fusion of organic architecture, advanced sustainability, and immersive views of the natural spectacle of the Northern Lights.
The building should appear sculpted by the Arctic wind: a fluid structure with elegant, curved lines, as if it had emerged from the frozen ground itself. It must blend into the environment without imposing upon it, featuring expansive glass surfaces that capture the Nordic light in all its nuances—from the soft grays of winter to the fleeting golds of the midnight sun.
The interior must include:
-
An underground art gallery, carved into the rock, with museum-grade lighting and independent climate control.
-
A glass observatory on the upper level, equipped with state-of-the-art telescopes.
-
Meditation and reading rooms facing north, with complete acoustic insulation.
-
A self-sufficient smart home system, powered by solar panels discreetly integrated into the design and wind turbines seamlessly embedded in the architecture.
-
Interior finishes using Norwegian stone, recycled Arctic wood, and local wool textiles, preserving the soul of the place.
More than a residence, it is envisioned as a sensory retreat: a minimalist temple in the midst of the boreal silence, where design not only shields from the cold but also celebrates it.
