Oslotre As

If we want homes people can truly afford, we can’t keep building the way we always have. It’s time for new thinking, both in the materials we use and in how we design, assemble, and deliver buildings.

Together with a strong group of industry partners, we’re developing a new timber based housing model that lowers costs, reduces resource use, and makes large-scale, sustainable buildings possible.

This collaboration connects expertise from across the Norwegian value chain, including Oslotre As, Ny Struktur AS, Norconsult, Moelven, Dekagon, InnoTre, PROCON, Woodfab, Optimera, Sørlaminering, Backe Rogaland, Massivtre as, Oslopre and many more.

For us at Oslotre As, it’s a privilege to lead this work and work with companies that share a genuine commitment to smarter, circular ways of building. We’re not just exploring new solutions—we’re implementing them.

Creative director in Oslotre Jørgen Tycho shares some reflections in Arkitektur on AI, biology, and the ideological shift currently reshaping 21st-century architecture.

The previous century was characterised by industrialisation, economic growth, and standardisation. Increasing evidence suggests that this paradigm is reaching its limits, and that the 21st century will be shaped by new organising principles: regeneration, ecology, quality of life, and flexibility.

We now stand on the threshold of a societal shift, from a linear, mechanical mindset to a worldview that re-centres the body, human experience, and our relationship with the living world.

Når tempoet senkes, må arkitekturen støtte fellesskap, mening og hverdagsliv, ikke bare funksjon, skriver Jørgen Tycho.

Every piece of wood in your house – from the windowsills to the furniture to the rafters – was once part of a living being, thriving in the open and pulsing with sap. If you look at these wooden objects across the grain, you might be able to trace out the boundaries of a couple of rings. The delicate shape of those lines tells you the story of a couple of years. If you know how to listen, each ring describes how the rain fell and the wind blew and the sun appeared every day at dawn.”

We had the pleasure of welcoming our friends from Tasmanian Timber to one of our favorite places.
This compact timber home, designed by Oslotre As for Christian Løken and his family, is a good example of smart, sustainable timber architecture.

Built on a small carfree Norwegian island, the ship-inspired interiors made from local materials and cladding from reclaimed 1950s ship decking, shows how reused materials and good design can fit naturally into the landscape. 🙂
