It is Norwegian area with much rain and wind coming from Oslo fjord.
Because of that, in this part of the east Norway there is one of the highest rainfall and snowfall index. Climatology from the area range draws the proposal placed in a large plot where you can see the landscape of whole Oslo fjord and other side of the coast; Svartskogen.
The project consists on a house with a large surface area, almost like a small village that seeks to reduce its presence in the natural environment away from white architectures from vernacular populations and approaching karstic phenomena, such as caves and gorges that have been carved by rain and time in shades of grey stones that exist in the area.
The project is understood as a geological landscape surrounded by cork and holm oak as happens in the nearby cave of the two doors.
To reduce the impact on landscape it is used a system of aggregation, that by repeating a single piece sets seven different outdoor spaces, each one of them reflects a part of a privileged environment, generating a sequence of human landscapes that are blurred between vegetation producing limitless fiction.
What we saw in this site was the potential to live in a way that is beautifully aligned with nature. The house provides a wonderful place to get together with our loved ones in an environment where there is time, space, light, and new possibilities.
