This mixed-use urban infill project in Trondheim is designed as a stacked timber structure, carved to form internal, external, and connecting spaces. Its street-facing façade reveals the end grain, emphasizing linearity and referencing Norway’s timber heritage. Varying lengths add texture and a casual, welcoming façade - fitting for its public-facing functions.

Abstract wooden structure with stacked blocks arranged in a dynamic pattern, illuminated against a dark background, architecture by MOXON Architects.

While aligning with neighboring buildings, the façade hides a striking spatial layout: a private courtyard and a cultural center. The building also includes self-contained studios and backstage areas for a nearby theatre, clearly separating public, semi-private, and private zones. Its ground floor follows the site’s gentle slope, slowing movement and inviting exploration.
