Axonometric

The importance of keeping the characteristic rock formation of the site and the dramatic view shaped the house.

The first floor of terraced concrete is carefully adjusted to the site, to avoid any alteration of the rocky hills, and keep an imtimate connection with the ground.

A wooden volume – a shape typical for traditional norwegian housing – is placed on top of the lower concrete body. This volume contains the more private functions of the house.
