Green steel cladding in a green oasis

If you are building, remodelling or renovating, steel profiles can open up some very distinctive housing solutions. Even when the project is small in scale, the material can give the architecture a striking boost. With a long service life. With minimal maintenance. And with an appearance that can be adapted to both traditional and modern buildings.

Architect Morten Chammon, managing partner at M|M Arkitekter, designed this functionalist allotment cottage in Søborg. The house is clad with Nordic Klikfals 275 on both the roof and façade, and stands as a contemporary interpretation of the Danish allotment garden tradition.

Here, the allotment cottage has not been romanticised, but simplified. The clean lines and cohesive steel cladding give the holiday home a strong architectural identity without losing its connection to the green oasis surrounding it.

Dark green steel cladding with a natural connection to its surroundings

The holiday home is situated in the heart of an allotment association in Søborg, where gardens, trees and small outdoor spaces create a green retreat close to the city. Nordic Klikfals in dark green GreenCoat Pural BT fits naturally into this setting and complements the house’s simple form.

GreenCoat® steel from SSAB has a colour coating in which some of the traditional fossil oil has been replaced with Swedish rapeseed oil. At the same time, steel is a material that can be recycled when it eventually moves on to the next stage of its life cycle.

The result is an allotment cottage with both character and a considered choice of materials. A small building with a bold appearance — and a shade of green that suits both the house and the garden.
