asBUILT 04 - Space Group: V-House (Upon Request)

With the V-House, Space Group performs spatial investigations by decomposing the traditional ”zoning” of a private villa while exploiting and cultivating the topographical richness of the site on a peninsula west of Oslo. The deeper context of the house is revealed in the relationship between domesticity and technology. As Michael Weinstock puts it in his essay, the V-House “is a space of transit, oscillating between the public world of work and the private space of domesticity, between the individual and the family. The result is that domestic space has become a terrain vague, which is what makes it so fascinating for the imagination.”
