VILLA HOLMENKOLLEN
OSLO

This house on the hilly outskirts of Oslo is orientated toward the southwest,
where the viewshed features forests, lakes, and the Oslo fjord.To accommodate
a grade that occasionally measures 60 degrees, the site is organizedinto
terraces, and the interior of the home was strategically planned to encourageprofound
interaction with the immediate landscape and distant horizon.The lower
level of the rectangular-plan house, for example, is laid out as one spacedivided
into zones, and has two dark concrete walls that heighten the sense of
weightlessnessof their glass counterparts. All levels are connected by
a three-story steel staircasethat enhance the feeling of inhabiting the
sky. The house is clad in Siberian pine and will acquire a grey patina
over time.
