Test house in Nuuk

Can you live with more climate zones?

The small house in Nuuk is an experiment testing the visionary concept for ‘Possible Greenland’ that Vandkunsten designed for the 2021 Venice Biennale.

A covered zone

A warm insulated core

Threshold zone

De to klimazoner muliggør en anden måde at bruge sit hus på. Den helårsopvarmede zone reduceres, mens mellemzonen giver mulighed for andre former for aktiviteter, der ligger mellem inde og ude. Godt indeklima er et vigtigt mål.
