"Nestled on the car-free island of Brønnøya in the Oslofjord, Villa Løken by Oslotre is a modern, maritime-inspired residence built for a professional sailor and his family. The project is a testament to sustainable timber architecture, showcasing how a high degree of prefabrication and manual labor can be used to construct a compact, yet bright and generous home under difficult logistical conditions. The design is a celebration of wood, reflecting both the surrounding nature and the owner's connection to wooden boats. The exterior is clad in reclaimed Brazilian cumaru wood from a 1950s Danish boat workshop, giving the villa a rich, recycled history. Inside, the home features a light and warm aesthetic with untreated aspen and oak panels, while the structural timber frame is left visible throughout. The house was built as a pure timber construction, utilizing precut timber elements and wood fiber insulation to minimize its environmental impact. The design is open in all directions, with large windows bringing in light, views, and a sense of connection to the surrounding nature and the water. This approach maximizes the perception of space despite the home's compact footprint.
