Valhalls gate 8

Housing
Fredrikstad

Surface: 520sqm
Status: Ongoing

Two new detached houses are being developed in a well-established residential area close to the city centre. The buildings have a footprint and volume that harmonise with the existing buildings and offer a modern interpretation of traditional elements.

The houses are built around a stone ring wall, with the façade characterised by readable cornices and corner tables, and the windows arranged in a traditional rhythm.

The detached houses are on three floors and have a loft living room, three bedrooms and a large balcony overlooking the town centre. The houses are sunny and have fantastic views of surrounding areas and the town centre.

A new housing development in an established residential area, on a site that was originally a farm dating from the late 1800s. The project includes modern semi-detached houses in courtyards with references to farm courtyards and ecogrids.

The large communal plot is ideal for country living, with a garden and space for cultivation and other outdoor activities.

Agentgaten 2

Office and commercial, residential
Fredrikstad

Surface: 2000sqm²
Status: Ongoing

Agentgaten 2 in Fredrikstad is currently perceived as a less attractive building with limited commercial activity. In order to meet today's visions and requirements, a comprehensive redevelopment plan has been drawn up for the building.

The façade of the building will have large windows and warm wooden materials, which will continue into the courtyard via a new passage. The passage will create a pedestrian axis between Olaf M. Holwechs Gate and Agentgate, connecting Nygaardsplassen, Storgaten and Hans Nilsen Hauges plass.

The courtyard will be converted from a car park into a public outdoor recreation area with green and pleasant terraces for residents and the general public. The apartments will have private balconies overlooking the courtyard and French balconies overlooking the Agentgaten. They will also have access to communal outdoor areas in the courtyard and a small roof terrace on the second floor.

The ground floor will have timber cladding and timber frames for doors and windows, while the upper floors will have through plaster and painted profiles to match the neighbouring buildings. The top floor will have a recessed zinc mansard roof that will turn grey over time to match the nearby slate roof.

Tredalen Speidersenter

Commercial property
Hvaler kommune

Surface: 60 000sqm
Status: Ongoing

Winner of the architectural competition for the Tredalen Scout Centre - Norway's greenest scout centre for the Norwegian Association of the Scouts and Guides.

The jury's recommendation:
"Line Solgaard Arkitekter has delivered a project with a convincing theme throughout. The project, with its simple, traditional building volumes and details, provides a clear predictability for building on both a small and large scale. In addition, the architecture, with its consistently readable building principles, creates identity and is understandable to the user. The project has a modern feel, while at the same time drawing on elements of the local building tradition on Hvaler".
