The site is divided into three clearly defined neighbourhoods, where the rows of houses in each of the neighbourhoods form the wall of the three large, open spaces, the ‘greens’.
The greens all have their own character, inviting social interaction, and in due course could be eqipped with open-air grilling facilities, pavilions, sheltered outdoor seating and play areas.
The three neighbourhoods are linked by a well-defined, attractive promenade, a narrow village street, with wide pavements for playing and local parking.
The pavements are laid with cobblestones and concrete flagstones and lined with trees; the rows of houses forming a wall to the street, as in the traditional village.
Apart from providing the residents with essential communal areas, the separate greens will contribute to give each house a unique quality.
All houses permit through-dayligh and make full use of the beautiful local landscape, unifying house and nature.
The aim was to create an attractive village, composed of simple, pure nordic houses.
The site possesses a rich variety of forms.
The details are simple, sober and elegant.

The challenge was to build “urban qualities”, the atmosphere of a living city, into the place: to give it identity, intimacy, drama, monumentality, friendliness, contrasts, humour and the feeling of joy – to ensure the buildings talked with each other across the streets, narrow passages and public spaces.The contact surface with the waters of the fjord has been exploited and pulled deep inside the mass of buildings via narrow passages and streets that run down the quayside and provide energy and life to the pedestrian areas.
The four buildings are designed as city blocks and appear more like complex “building environments” than individual buildings. The “city blocks” provide a typical urban cross-section of functions: theatre and a basement cinema. Shops on street level and and offices on middle floors with apartments with lush roof gardens. The result is a neighbourhood where a kindergarden sits next to a night club, with activities for every age and every desire.The apartments are conceived as a complete residential complex covering the rooftops of the city, with sun and magnificent views, far from the noise of the busy streets below.
