What at first glance appears to be a single-family villa enclosed by an enormous pitched-roof with timber-clad eaves, are actually four separate apartment units. Villa Faun is an apartment complex located in the northwest slope of Oslo with a panoramic view over the city and the Oslo Fjord in the distance. The surrounding neighborhood is characterized by various types of Norwegian houses built during the last century. The concept of the design team was to bring together a unifying identity to the project, while creating private, individual units.
