Husene i Skogen / Helen & Hard

Our goal was to develop a new typology that takes into consideration the unique qualities of the site and makes them perceptible to the residents and neighbouring communities. The development consists of six residential buildings built in timber, situated on a terrain that slopes steeply towards the northeast. The buildings are arranged in two rows, with the rear row overlooking the front row. In each row the residential floors extend down over the front of the parking garage. The apartments span over two levels, bringing the residential facades down to the ground level whilst concealing the long parking garages behind.
