The Green House / MORFEUS arkitekter

MORFEUS arkitekter was engaged by clients Astri and Henrik Botten Taubøll in 2017 to design a new home on their recently inherited property, Sorbyhaugen 24 in Oslo. The choice fell jointly on rebuilding, transforming, and extending the original house from 1933, even though the house was in poor condition. The result is a contemporary, unique architectural object with a distinctive local, historical anchoring. The property is in the district of Ullern in Oslo, on a ridge sloping westwards towards the small stream "Makrellbekken". The terrain falls steeply, approximately 30 meters in a westerly direction, and the site is characterized by tall pine trees amidst a splendid view towards the Oslo fjord in the southwest.
