Effektiv Tomteutnyttelse

The project, 'A Home in a Garden', is an infill development set in a garden in Oslo, with a focus on utilizing space efficiently within strict regulations. Despite a small building footprint of 57sqm, the home boasts a total living area of 170sqm, distributed across four levels. The villa's custom geometry and vertical growth optimize its small footprint while adhering to regulations and the challenges posed by its neighboring environment and road proximity.

Design: Lys, Materialer

Architecturally, the house presents a rectangular shape with strategic displacements to allow for natural sunlight penetration and integration of vertical circulation elements. The building envelope's design incorporates high vertical windows to the east and west and formulated seating decks in the garden on the northern and southern sides. Constructed with sustainable materials, the house features cross-laminated timber, insufflate wood fiber insulation, and maintenance-free pine cladding.
