Nytt 'reir' på gammel grunn

Haugen/Zohar Architects were tasked by Trondheim authorities to develop a new enclosure, referred to as the 'nest', utilizing the concrete foundation of a previous project—a fireplace for children made from recycled wood cut-offs.

Fleksibelt uteområde for barn

The 'nest' serves as a versatile outdoor space for children, functioning throughout the four seasons. It is a circular gathering space for storytelling, craft-making, and exhibiting artifacts. Designed to be co-created by the children, it encourages interactive play and creativity.

Tradisjonsrikt håndverk møter funksjonalitet

Drawing from Norwegian fence-making and basket-weaving traditions, the wooden structure is crafted using Aspen slats woven around a wooden frame. This integrates with the existing concrete foundation to offer both a seating area and a lattice for climbing plants or children's crafts, blending functionality with natural growth and artistic expression.
