The Red House / MORFEUS arkitekter
The client, Kari Fredrikke Brænne, is a recognized Norwegian author and artist. She grew up in the main house on the property, dating from 1936, designed by architect Jan Meyer. Ever since taking over the house, Kari dreamed of her own studio in the garden. With the help of MORFEUS architects, this and more was achieved: The small studio in the garden is a place to work, paint, and write books. In addition, the building offers a compact living area for the client's family and guests. The property is in the residential area of Røa on the outskirts of Oslo, characterized by detached houses and lush trees. Local regulations are restrictive in preserving the typical qualities of the area. An additional building on the property was permitted as it was designed small scale, subordinate to the main house, and with a good location adaptation.
