7 Villas
Fredrikstad

Surface: 120 to 210 m²
Status: Completed

In collaboration with Solid Prosjekt, we have helped develop seven new and modern detached houses in Oredalen, spread into three different housing types between the seven owner-occupied plots.

The plot features century-old oak trees which we decided to conserve. The undisputable beauty of those stunning trees gives a charming atmosphere to the gardens, as well as providing natural shading in summer. The minimalist approach for the facades modernizes the traditional Norwegian house typology, without outstanding the surrounding neighbours of this residential area.

Government District
Oslo

Surface: 124 500 m²
Status: Vinner av konkurransen, ikke bygget

In the proposal «Lysning», the Government District is built with a single high-rise block, while the rest of the surrounding buildings maintain a low height through large floor surfaces. In this way, the towering building naturally becomes the symbolically most important building.

I utformingen av arbeidsplassene har G8+-teamet lagt vekt på møteplasser i og på tvers av departementene for å sikre god kommunikasjon både internt og med byen.

Oslo City’s Architecture Prize

Oslo City’s Architecture Prize

Exhibition
Oslo

Surface: Varies
Status: Completed

Oslo City’s Architecture Prize is awarded annually and aims to highlight the latest and best architecture of the capital city, as well as to stimulate and increase the public interest in architecture and urban development. Line Solgaard Arkitekter has been involved in organizing the exhibition for several years since 2015, as a part of the Oslo Architecture Triennale.

We have had a strong focus on the environment when developing the concept of this year. Therefore, all frameworks and doors in the exhibition are made from recycled and reused materials. The triangular truss of the framework is inspired by the Norwegian “hjeller”, a traditional wooden structure used to dry fishes. The exhibition structure is weighted by wooden box foundations filled with earth to anchor the construction in place and as flowerpots. It displays various information boards, picture frames and models about the architecture projects showcased in the Triennale.
