portico
Entering a house, entering a space. Before you step
over the invisble line, the one which makes you feel in
the next space or not, there is also a space. This in-
between space, this before-the-next space, is something
Norwagian are very good at. They also need to provide
this space, because it rains and snows so much in
Norway, that when you need to wait before a door, you
want to be sheltered. The portico gives you shelter.
A portico in front of every front door, for people
visiting and waiting till someone opens the door. Or
for people looking for their key in their purse. But
also portico’s on the side of the house, on the back of
the house, on top of the house, beneath the house, in
the house, or not even related to the house.
These porico’s have usually a pitched roof, also so
that snow and rain can fall down easily. Cars get a
roof, mail gets a roof, ventilation units get a roof,
brooms get a roof, waiting rubber boots get a roof.

a norwegian house type 1 (perspective)
This is a standard house, wich can be found in any Norwegian
village. This one is in Dale, a remote village. There is a
door for entering the house, wich usually leads to a corridor
or hall behind it, where shoes and coats can dry. Before
the door is usually a little piece of land, or a small path
leading to the door. This is to create a middle zone between
the private house and the public street, it’s a transition
zone.
This is the type without options. Not personalized yet.
Next pages show some expanding options.

expanding option 1 (perspective)
Expanding option 1: to break the transition zone into more
specifi c transition zones. Now you feel like entering the
property, a movement from a public space to a more private
space, but still quite public. Everybody can still see you.
The moment you arrive at this portico, you’re covered from
the weather, you feel almost IN the home. But you’re still
not in there. You ring the bell, while waiting looking around
at the life on the street, that seems further away from your
almost safe and private spot.
Once you stand in front of the door for more than 2 minutes,
you lose the feeling of safety and almost being inside.
Nobody’s home and this in between place loses it’s meaning
and it’s warmth.

Expanding option 2 (perspective)
Expanding option 2: not only shelter for people but also for
random stuff and for cars. This is a transition zone for more
familiar people. Family taking the back door, those who not
have to wait untill someone opens the door, they open the door
themselves. This is also the entrance for the people living
in the house: once you’re under this porch, you’re home. It’s
like you already feel the warmt of the chimney or smell the
dinner being ready. Although not as pretty and not at the main
entrance of the house, expanding option 2 is more integrated
in the house then expanding option 1. If there where colours
leading the way from public (blue) to private (red) this
space would be bright bordeaux.

expansion option 3 (perspective)
This expanding option creates some zones that are spacially
on the same level as expanding option 1 and 2, (they’re an
expansion on the original house) but they are totally diff erent
on the privacy level. If you want to enter these expansions,
you’ve already been inside the house. You’re not going from
blue to red, but you can stand in the bright bordeaux and look
at all the other tints of bleu and purple.
Also special for this expansion: covering roof for one space
is immediate the fl oor for the space above. Above this space
there’s also a covering roof, this one of course pitched.
(We’re still in Norway)
note: imagine the windows larger and like doors (otherwise
this expansion is only accessible by climbing, wich would
create a dark purple space, not in not out, and trapped
forever.......)

Like this! (axonometrie)
What is transition space in this context? You can be in the
dark purple space, looking at the door you want to go to, or
at the window you want to see through. Or you come a step
closer, walk on the balcony above the door.
You are above the entrance, but still not inside the house.
You can see a window, wich can we an entrance, for your eyes,
but it seems that we might need a door, to make a physical
entrance.
Mindfuck. Think about this the other way around. x x and x
are inside, leading ways to the outside. Do these spaces
that were before outdoor spaces, have the same meaning and
qualtities as before? If you stand in point x, would you also
feel bright bordeax because you have intentions to go out?

other expansion options (perspective)
Because it seems that the Norwegians have run out of inspiration,
I made a proposal for new expansing options. They are always
providing shelter (for humans, birds, warmth, sun, ...) They
make new transition zones wich range from purple to violet
to raisin to wine to mauve, sometimes eggplant and sometimes
jam.

standard house type 2 (perspective)
Standard house type 2 is universal. This could be in Belgium
too. This is probably in Belgium because they’ve kept it more
simple.

eyelash house (perspective)
Or like this ( norwegians give their houses eyelashes to
make them more beautiful, and to make it clearer if they’re
tired and want to sleep, or have open eyes and are up for
conversations)
(imagine you had 14 eyes, and you could close them seperatly
whenever you want, what a weird place this world would be)

If I would stretch out my arm to the side, would it feel the

Nele Bergmans | 35
Window (colour temprament)
They created a space for their gaze, looking out the window.
It’s the space where the gaze is hanging before it fi nds
something interesting. Ofcourse, everything needs shelter.
How come only Norwegians think about these moments - and make
space for it?
And also, would your gaze feel the purpleness? Where does is
start?

a house in Dale, Norway (perspective)
This house is a little diff erent because it’s somewhat bigger
in scale. It’s also not a house for living. Inside there’s
a bank. Because of the same facade everywhere, and also the
fact that it has big windows all the way down to the ground,
I don’t know where to enter. I could walk around the building,
try to approach it, try to understand it, but the bridge, the
transition zone, the in-between is missing.

aha? (perspective)
I wonder why Norwegians put more then 1 portico in front of
each other. We already know now where the entrance is. They
need more shades of purple.
If every space is a transition between the space before and
the space after it, and the two extremes are the norwegian
house and me. What would happen to me in this transition/
translation zone?
40 | Dale charette
Norwagian roofs (perspective)
Norwegian roofs are always a little bit longer then the edge
of the house. It’s already a kind of transition zone, a
large portico, something that gives shelter. It’s so familiar
that many don’t notice. What if we bring it down? And maybe
put some columns in front to make a real collonade. Then it
becomes also a place to walk in. A large in-between space. Or
do we get the promblem again with the entrance?

confusion (model)
Confusion for us, clearity for Norwegians. Because they’re so
trained in making transition spaces, they could tell in one
second what’s the appropriate way to go.

roof for everything (model)
left to right:
roof for a family
roof for boats and stuff for boats
roof for brooms and tools for in the cemetery
roof for mail box
roof for rubber rain boots
In Norway you can have a roof for everything. Brooms are not
put inside of the church, but they made a little house for
it. Also mail, no post box inside the wall if your house, but
one at the beginning of the street so that the mail man can
go home as quick as possible (always this rain in Norway).
And a little house for rubber boots, so that they don’t make
it dirty inside, but they stay oustide without getting wet
or snowy.

roof for post (model)
This is such a public placed little house, but inside there
are a thousand very personal papers. Although every box is
the same, you feel yourself drawn to your own mailbox. It’s
glowing in this red bordeaux colour that feels so familiar.
The other are just post boxes. But it’s nice that they can be
all togheter, so that no bad news, no good news, should ever
lie alone in a black box.
It’s nice to have this miniatur street in front of every real
street. It’s also a kind of portico, a kind of translation to
a foreigner: this is this the entrance to this street and here
lives this this and this family. Oke, little house, thank you
for the information.

roof for rain boots (model)
In Norway they also have a little rood for their rain boots.
It’s just genious. No more water plash inside the hall, no
more dirty footprints in the corridor. The rain boots can
stay outside, where they can dry and are sheltered from the
bad weather. When people come outside, they can put on their
rain boots and go out.

positioning rubberrainboothouse (map)
As you can see, the rubberrainboothouse has the same scale
as the ventilationunithouse. On the other side of the
familyhouse there is a waterhosehouse, wich you unfortunaly
cannot see on the drawing. So we were wondering about the
position of this rubberrainboothouse. It should be next
to the entranceporticohouse, and out of sight from the
ventilationunithouse. In this composition you can walk out
through the entranceporticohouse and get your boots in the
rubberrainboothouse to put them on. But what with the little
distance between them? What shoes should you put on then? We
don’t want wet socks. The solution: the rubberrainboothouse
should be close enough to the entranceporticohouse so that
you don’t need to step in wet surfaces before you get there.
Or you can put the rubberrainboothouse inside the
entranceporticohouse. Maybe this is even a better solution.
