I’m continuing this small series of images telling the story of Røros today, with the special architecture often dating back hundreds of years.

Today’s image is one of the older houses, dating back to the 1700s and located near the centre of the town. Please note the roofing, the older houses all grow grass on the sod roof during summertime!

The always returning nightmare in Røros is… what if there is a fire? The disaster would be complete if so happened, the wooden houses are built butt to butt and a fire would most likely be devastating to the centre of this old mining town!

------

The only reason for founding a town in this place was the fact copper was discovered in the area, and Røros Copper Mining Company was established in 1644. The company was operative for 333 years, until closure in 1977 (2).

Hello Pablo,

It looks like an Icelandic style of architecture as the house is inside the earth with a face constructed by wood. I am sure these houses would use less energy to maintain heat inside.

A beautifully composed image in crisp details and fine luminosity. Point of view is exciting. An excellent shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

its very special.. living in norway like this.
good photo

Hello Pablo.
Lovely looking very old house.
Good composed picture you took of it.
In Holland also some people having their house with special small plants and grass on the roof.
It must do good for insulation, but not mine idea.
Construction must be stronger and no control whats rotten beneath.
Besides children like to play footbal on your roof, haha
Regards from Jan

A beautiful house, with gorgeous colours. Great sharpness, and well framed.

Hi,Pablo,
Oddly enough, this northern shot with these beams of wood with which the house has been built reminds me of Russia to some extent.
I like how you've viewed and presented the place in your shot.

Facinating image - love the windows and their coverings and content/stuff. Does this structure have a sod roof. Many building on the frontier of the US west in the 1800and early 1900's had sod roofs. Amazing how long these structors last.

Hi Pablo,

The streets of Røros are indeed very attractive, but I love to see the roofing and the birch that is attached underneath. When travelling in Norway my eye is drawn to the grasses and flowers growing on those roofs - a lovely sight. Thanks for capturing it.

Lovely colorful architecture, so warm and unusual. The brown wooden walls, the orange windows and door, the white lacy curtains, the roof with grass on it are so picturesque and hospitable.It is incredible that there are people living in houses built in the 18th century.

Hi Pablo..I love your pictures from Norway...this shot is so clear and has the same peaceful feeling that you have in many...great contrast between the darker wood and the colored trim.

Hola Pablo.
Una encantadora serie la que nos estás regalando con las calles de Roros.
Bellos contrastes y estupendo comentario.
Un cordial saludo, JL.

Hi Pablo,
What makes this interesting at first glance is the grass in the roof which is a bit out of place in modern architecture. Of course after reading your informative notes it all becomes clear.
Good tight framing too ... just focusing on those repeating patterns of the windows with the weathered outer wall of the house. Well composed with fine details. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

what aninteresting architecture! i am always facsinated bu different styles of homes and what it tells us about people...
thank you pablo

Beautiful home, strudy and comfy looking!

Hi Pablo,
Wonderful details to this lovely old home with the brightly painted shutters and door. The bare wood is seen in all its weathered beauty that blends well with the earthen roof. Great colors and sharpness to this unique home.

Traditional (or spontaneous) architecture can be really a piece of art like the house in this photo. And the photo itself is also an artwork when it's composed in such a brilliant way. Simply beautiful.
