Nolla Cabin

Nolla Cabin

With their Journey to Zero campaign, launching in the summer of 2018, Finnish renewable energy company Neste was in search of ways to construct a world with minimal emissions. The primary lap of this journey, the Nolla cabin, was a problem for me to design and demonstrate a way of life that has a minimal carbon footprint in each aspect.

The cabin functions solely on renewable energy and excludes most modern commodities. The cabin itself is a compact and completely mobile 10m2 dwelling, that may be assembled, dissembled, and transported with none heavy machinery. It demonstrates a low-impact day-by-day life, that’s based mostly on self-sufficiency and renewable options – thus generating minimal to no emissions.

Located on Vallisaari, probably the most various islands in the Helsinki archipelago, Nolla is a compelling space for easy living in the realm of nature – but in the immediate proximity of the Helsinki city center. The cabin and its environment provide wonderful surroundings for a calming getaway from everyday life, the place guests have the prospect to wind down and distance themselves from their daily routines and obligations.

One facet that I needed to convey to the design is movability. Why tear up the environment and leave the surroundings in items to slowly get well. Having an answer you possibly can carry by hand to the chosen location you can begin enjoying your keep as if it at all times been there – or hasn’t.

The cabin structures have been fixed together with screws, so it may be taken aside and put again together like a puzzle. The pedestals are adjustable in order that the cabin can adapt to completely different sorts of terrain. In essence, there are not any particular parts utilized in constructing it – a duplicate of any half could be made out of scratch by anybody, all they want is timber.

The culture of repairing issues is disappearing, and we’re quick to buy an alternative fairly than repair what we have already got – however that’s not a really sustainable way of life. I find modern-day helplessness and the lack to make issues with our personal arms barely scary, so I wanted to make the cabin simply repairable and thus give it an infinite variety of life cycles.
