Hoffsjef Villa
Summary
Asked to design this private family home as a second home on the same plot, carved into a mountainside among traditional homes in Ullern, Oslo we worked to design a home on a very small plot. This home became fresh and light with airy expression, blurring the lines between inside and outdoors, while creating a natural and comfortable flow through the space.

The architecture is open and light, with a stunning view of the Oslo fjord. Scandinavia meets Southern Europe as the chosen materials, like concrete for the floors and light oak wood in the kitchen and built-in elements, not only suit the Norwegian climate, but also enclose and exude Scandinavian minimalism.
Small nooks and rooms with a cosy and warm atmosphere contrast the otherwise open architecture to create a dynamic space.
We wanted to create an open plan space with a natural flow and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor. This way, the interplay between design, interior and architecture comes full circle.
There’s an honesty in this design language, which is further emphasized through the use of natural materials that speak to all our senses. This way, the interplay between design, interior and architecture comes full circle.
