Apartment at Lovisenberg
Oslo, Norway
Renovated original "Funkis" in Oslo from 1936.
The apartment is located in a small functionalist building with 5 apartments in central Oslo. The building was originally drawn by two pioneers in Norwegian modernism, Ole Lind Schistad and Eivind Moestue. The same duo created "Ingierstrand bad", a modernist gem along the eastern seaside of Oslo.
The small flat of 63 m2 had a plan with great potential and it could easily be modified and adapted to the wishes and needs of the new residents. One great need was to make space for a grand piano in the living room.
The apartment was stylistically dated with yellow walls with textured wallpaper and both bathroom and kitchen from the 70s. All surfaces needed renovation. The kitchen was moved into the old living room and has now emerged as the heart of the apartment, a social dining kitchen with a fireplace and a balcony with double doors. The old kitchen was small and cramped and was converted to an office/studio/guestroom. The small bathroom and bedroom with hallway in between, needed to be replanned to make better use of the m2 and better space for a double bed and wardrobe in the bedroom. By turning around the plan, all the piping, washing machine and storage were organized behind an entire cabinet wall to create a tidy bathroom with a lot of storage space.
The characteristic stretch of windows in the living room was emphasized with a long line of custom-built bookshelves. This also utilized the available space under the windowsill.
The walls were plastered and painted white. The original oak floors were sanded down and varnished.
In general it was emphasized to use a visual language, materials and surfaces that fit the functionalist architecture, but with a modern interpretation. The goal was to create a social, functional and space advantage plan with multipurpose rooms.
