The house is situated in a pine wood on Veierland, a car-free island outside Nøtterøy in Vestfold. Perched on stilts above a rocky ridge it gently hovers in the woodland, leaving no footprint. This impression is further enhanced by a homogenous surface of dark wood, which gives the house an inconspicuous, almost muted character.

It bespeaks serenity and inward orientation; a principle reflected further in its very rational layout. Functions are gathered in ‘batteries’, which leaves the rest of the indoor volume clarified and transparent. Made up of longitudinal blocks around a central open area, the house is oriented towards this centre, which in itself does not serve any function and therefore constitutes a serene, untouched locus.
