“Enghusene” (The meadow Houses) derive from the unique character of the landscape. The area is situated on a south facing slope in connection with a golf course with an uninterrupted view of fields and forest. The result is 43 houses connected in long, curving chains forming a characteristic identity – like a sign in the sloping landscape.

The master plan is like a hand set in to the grass. Between the”fingers” of houses is a free growing meadow.

The concept for the plan is to achieve variation from 2 types of houses – a 1 story and a 2 story house.

The houses are like cells connected in strings, forming long chains, taking shape from the terrain and insuring every house the optimal view and orientation.

Every house has a free view of the landscape of the area, the near landscape of the meadow and of the individual gardens.

One- story 137,7 m2

Two-story 142,9 m2
