Cooperative Farm Expansion


The Oslo School of Architecture and Design
GK2 - 2022

Prestegårdshagene Community Farm is located in Telemark. The farm currently lacks adequate housing for agricultural interns and a suitable gathering space for shareholders to use during communal work gatherings.

This project proposes a minimal-footprint expansion on the south side of the existing farmhouse. The new building's footprint is carefully positioned on non-arable land, connecting existing footpaths around the farm in a linear intervention that forms a threshold between the cultivated farm area and the neighbouring properties.
