The concept engages with research from Link\u00f6ping University, which outlines three primary strategies for managing environmental risk: protection, adaptation, and retreat. Lift House suggests a fourth option, temporary retreat, introducing mobility and flexibility as means of resilience.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/oskaromne.com\/\">Oskar Omne<\/a> unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Industrial mechanics meet vernacular form in UMA\u2019s Lift House<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Constructed from a repurposed scissor lift originally used by ArkDes, the project integrates themes of reuse and resource efficiency. The lift mechanism and supporting frame were retained and coated in traditional Swedish red paint, forming the base for a small timber structure. The upper house features wooden panel cladding, a gabled roof, and a simplified chimney fabricated from CNC-cut MDF. The combination of industrial mechanics and vernacular form establishes a dialogue between technical function and domestic familiarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ulf Mejergren Architects (UMA) <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/u-m-a.se\/\">studio<\/a><\/strong> prioritizes material efficiency throughout the design process. With a lift capacity limited to 227 kilograms, each component, from structure to decorative details, was carefully calculated and adjusted to maintain balance and stability. Lace curtains and minimal interior elements evoke a sense of domesticity while emphasizing lightness and precision. Lift House operates as a functional prototype as well as a conceptual proposal. It reflects on the relationship between architecture, mobility, and environmental change, suggesting how small-scale, adaptable structures can offer temporary safety and autonomy in uncertain conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Lift House by Ulf Mejergren Architects is a compact refuge mounted on a mobile scissor lift<\/p>\n<p>the project was created for the exhibition Beredd (Ready) at ArkDes in Stockholm<\/p>\n<p>the house can be elevated above ground level during extreme weather events<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Lift House acts as a conversation piece during climate debates at ArkDes | image by Sima Korenivski<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the concept introduces \u2018temporary retreat\u2019 as a new form of climate resilience | image by Sima Korenivski<\/p>\n<p>the timber upper house features panel cladding, a gabled roof, and a simplified chimney | image by Sima Korenivski<\/p>\n<p>lace curtains and minimal furnishings introduce a domestic quality<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Lift House (Hisshus)<\/p>\n<p><strong>architects:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/u-m-a.se\/\">Ulf Mejergren Architects (UMA)<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ulfmejergrenarchitects\/\">@ulfmejergrenarchitects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>curators:<\/strong> Kris Johnson-Jones, Olle Lundin, ArkDes<\/p>\n<p><strong>exhibition producer:<\/strong> Carl-Oskar Linn\u00e9<\/p>\n<p><strong>production team:<\/strong> Hangmen Studio \u2013 Kelvin Douglas, Oscar Persson Lidgren<\/p>\n<p><strong>climate research:<\/strong> Sofie Storbj\u00f6rk, Associate Professor at Link\u00f6ping University<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographers:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/oskaromne.com\/\">Oskar Omne<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oskaromne\/\">@oskaromne<\/a>, Sima Korenivski<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/ulf-mejergren-uma-mobile-red-cottage-scissor-lift-conceptual-response-climate-change-lift-house-10-22-2025\/\">ulf mejergren builds mobile red cottage on scissor lift as a response to climate change<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lift House proposes movable architecture for climate resilience \u00a0 Lift House by Ulf Mejergren\u00a0Architects (UMA) is a compact gabled timber house refuge mounted on a mobile scissor lift.
