housing block

bekkelagsveien 9b

oslo 1996-2000

 

Our solution to a very steep site was to park the cars and enter the house from the top. The building is a simple volume with minor deformations to make use of local opportunities and avoid local problems.

 

In 2001 the project was nominated to the European Mies van der Rohe award.
