Starring Trondheim! Atelier houses : Eelco Dekker Architect

Starring Trondheim! Atelier houses.
Main goal is to make a building, that generates a kick-start for the rest of the Svartlamoen area. The building is deliberately kept small to create space for a lively inner world inside the urban housing block. Here a lunchroom with terrace can be found where artists show their work. A passage runs from Strandveien to the inner world. The passage continues underneath the train track to the artists workshops connecting both sides.

The project site is bordered on both sides by existing buildings. The in-between space is divided into three zones. Zone 1 is cut away which creates the passage (from small to wide) and gives the building its sliced shape. Zone 2 is the climate zone on the south side of the building and can be used as inside as well as outside area. Surplus heat will be stored for later use in the seasonal thermal system. Zone 3 are the studios and apartments with flexible floor plans.

Big and smaller units for studios and apartments with flexible floor plans. The units are based on a grid of 3,6m wide. Floor plans can vary according to the changing needs of people and way of living. Every unit is fitted out with two installation shafts.

‘The Slice’ will be build of massive Norwegian 100% wooden walls and floors. Prefabricated vertical and horizontal wood elements are densely layered, without gaps, to become solid and compact construction elements.
