A new family house from the ashes in the centre of Trondheim, set into a demanding context.
After one out of a pair of modernist houses in Sverres gate were lost in a fire in 2010, the building of a new house between the surviving house and Harmonien, a characteristic mansion house, proved to be a challenging task.
The modernist houses were designed by the same architect and were strongly related by dimensions, shape and materials. As its neighbour, the destroyed building had a hipped roof and rendered exterior walls. The architectural program for the new house was larger than its predecessor, and included two adjoined apartments and a garage in addition to the main dwelling.
The chosen design is a cube-like volume with a hipped roof towards the street, connected to a elevated, curved shape further down towards the river Nidelva by a middle part with flat roof and roof terraces. This organic volume interacts with the existing trees on the slope, and follows the natural building line set by the neighbouring houses.
One of the hip roof’s corners is tilted upwards in the manner of a paper fortune teller, allowing for a skylight in the kitchen, as well as being an important facade element towards Harmonien.
The ground floor consists of the adjoined apartments, a guest room and a training room, while the floor above holds the main bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, the living room and kitchen as well as a home office.
Aside from the concrete slab between the basement and the ground floor, the building is a wooden structure with a steel frame. The exterior walls are clad with render carrier boards with a coloured finish and stained, wooden cladding. The roof is copper plated, along with all exterior fittings.
