The construction is simple, consisting of only 2x3 and 2x8 wooden members, and is easy to maintain. The project was developed in a 2+2 week design and build workshop in collaboration with Studio NN in the early summer of 2021.

R21 Arkitekter designs Villa Solveien.

R21 Architects designed Villa Solveien, an intimate and robust family home in the Nordstrand district of Oslo. The project is situated on a steep terrain with large pine trees and a spectacular view of the Oslo fjord. The layout of rooms is based on conventional principles of a gradual transition between public and private areas. Structurally, the project consists of two main parts; the heavy, concrete base and the lighter wooden construction on top of it. The materials are determined by function and use, with the concrete construction consisting of two layers and the wooden construction surrounding the living areas above.
