This property is located between Hundsund and Koksabukta. With its proximity to the Oslo Fjord and the city, it is blessed with the natural qualities of sun, views and atmosphere. The gabled houses extend towards the pond, which imitates the old coastline and emphasizes a closeness to the sea. By using dark wood paneling and large open sections, they have a north-south orientation, which gives lots of sun and nice views - even further into the area where whitewashed houses are sprinkled with signal colours. The urban villas were given very flexible floor plans and are positioned like dots in the middle of the building development.

The apartments open in three directions. The terraced houses have rooms connected to a central stairwell which adds quality to all floors. The curved building is expressively shaped, which promotes an irregular floor plan solution that offers different qualities on all sides of the building. Together with the townhouses, the curved building creates an outdoor space that faces the northwest and the town villas.
