It is now official: in addition to our office in Nottingham, we have opened a branch of 2hD Architects in Oslo, Norway.

We already have a few projects underway, including the conversion of a workshop into an family home on the bank of the Mjøsa lake and two mountain skiing cabins on the slope of the Renåfjellet. Exciting times!

On Renåfjellet

28 Oct 2011

First site visit to one of our upcoming Norwegian projects: two mountain cabins on the slopes of Renåfjellet, at a ski resort overlooking the Ren valley, about 300km North of Oslo.

Great views and plenty of moist reindeer moss!


Tune House on site

26 Oct 2011

The Tune house is now on site, with the roof going up. The project, located on the bank of the Mjøsa, Norwegian's largest lake, involves the rebuilding of a two-story building into a family house and an attached workshop.

We are reusing part of the existing concrete structure — an unusal object in the Norwegian housing world! — and fully glazing the south facing gable wall to frame stunning views to the surrounding hills and neighbouring lake.
