The quarter covered by field S1 is very central in the north-western part of the business belt from Skøyen station along Hoffselva to the north. The quarter ends the urban commercial area, and forms the northern wall and center of gravity towards Hoff Torg. The degree of daily activity, based on diversity in purpose, joint use of areas and 24/7 use of the quarter, is absolutely crucial in providing the basis for Hoff Torg as a center of gravity in the north-west of the planning area.

Hoff Village gets its name from the complex block structure around an inner courtyard: a small village with an inner life, grown over time with alleys, spaces, passages and diversity. The quarter consists of workplaces, housing, commerce, culture, common areas and social spaces for "life and movement".
