Ekeberg Housing Project

Various architects were responsible for the project throughout all design phases, from initial sketch design to final completion.

The concept aims to create a sense of community among all residential units while still ensuring individuality and privacy for each home. This is achieved by dividing the project into four smaller buildings — two detached houses and one semi-detached building — and by slightly offsetting the buildings in relation to each other.

All units are organized around an inviting and sunny shared courtyard, protected from noise from the adjacent street. The courtyard maximizes views toward surrounding green areas while still providing privacy for each dwelling, creating a calm and sheltered shared outdoor environment.

The houses have a simple architectural expression with restrained detailing. Durable materials have been selected, primarily timber cladding, ensuring good aging qualities over time. The proposed green and grey façade colors reinforce the individuality of each unit while maintaining harmony with surrounding buildings and the wider neighborhood. The result is a modern architectural expression that remains well adapted to its context.
