The Edge House in Norway by Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Architects MNAL

By Lavinia • February 25, 2010

You’ve seen a lot of residences here on Freshome lately built on terrains that are not leveled. This brings a particular challenge for architects, but also amazing end results. The Edge House by onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.jva.no');" href="http://www.jva.no/" target="_blank">Jarmund / Vigsnæs AS Architects is located in Kolbotn, a suburb south of  Oslo out in the cold Norway. Its unusual architecture caught our eye as it is not very common for a house to have such un-smooth edges and seem as it it is about to fall off a small cliff. Even though on the outside it looks unusual and interestingly shaky, the building couldn’t be steadier. The residence belongs to a young couple that wanted a cool design with a limited budget, a place that  “looked like you could shoot a James Bond movie in it”. We think the architects caught the essence of their wish. It is now up to you to give us your opinion.- via href="http://www.archtracker.com/the-edge-house-jarmund-vigsn%C3%A6s-as-architects/2010/02/">Arch Tracker
