Text description provided by the architects. The five self-built experimental houses at Svartlamon, a project initiated by the young architectural practice Nøysom arkitekter when they were still students, explores how architects can work towards a more frugal and sustainable use of resources by creating open-ended architectural frameworks that facilitate man's natural adaptive capacity. By encouraging self-building and user participation, the result has not only been five houses with a square meter price of one-fifth of market price, but also a varied and rich living environment with a unique architectural quality.
