The apartment buildings on Tjuvholmen has a unique location with a panoramic view to the Oslo Fjord.
The design and planning are conceived in an effort to link each apartment as much as possible to the fjord landscape. The openings in the facades, the balconies and the protrusions have been designed in relation to the trajectory of the sun and the surrounding landscape. This is demonstrated in the way the staggered facades move as a leitmotiv in a regular pulse as each apartment opens to the fjord and the view.
