Red Concrete House in Lillehammer is bolder than its budget suggests

John Sanden and Ingvild Hodnekvam’s work perfectly represents that clean, nature-inspired, human-centric aesthetic that has come to characterise the best of Norway’s architecture – yet with a fresh, contemporary twist that gives it a competitive edge. The two architects jointly launched Sanden+Hodnekvam Arkitekter in 2014 and have since received commissions all over the country, including houses of all scales and sizes. Their material choices vary, spanning wood, brick and concrete, but it’s their latest house’s distinctive colour that gives it its name: Red Concrete House. The project, located in Lillehammer, is an intergenerational home – a typical family set up for the Nordic country. Here, three generations live under one roof in a minimalist house nestled into a slope.
