Oredalstunet – In collaboration with Solid Prosjekt, Line Solgard architects were commissioned to develop one of the city’s hidden jewels in Ordalen, centrally located in Fredrikstad and within walking distance of all of the city’s facilities. Close to the center and close to the town square. The plot was an overgrown natural plot of 6,280 m2 with four wonderful oak trees and an old dilapidated house with a tired barn. The plot was recently regulated for seven detached houses. The homes are placed between the mighty oaks and form a shared outdoor space with a playground and access road. Together, the 7 homes surround a community that creates a cozy and child-friendly street garden that highlights the mighty oak trees that have been an important landmark in the local area for a long time.

Line Solgaard’s latest cabin project “Kjerringholmen” lies on a small island, in Hvaler, Norway. The clients bought this small private island on which to build a holiday home. The cabin demonstrates the idea that large houses don’t necessarily mean more quality of life. In just 63 square meters, with smart planning, it still has plenty of usable space.

A doctor couple who wanted to leave the hustle and bustle of Chennai city bought a 2 Acre parcel of land in the outskirts of the city. The clients approached us with a clear brief of having a 2-bedroom house, with vernacular building elements incorporated. Our intention was to create a sense of nostalgia but to also make sure that the design was modern and timeless.
