We have allowed ourselves to be excited and inspired by the plot at Fantoftveien 38 in Bergen!
Fantoftvegen 38 on Paradis in the Fana district approx. 5 km south of the center of Bergen.
The site consists of an exciting natural formation, a ridge and a south-facing valley road which reaches its highest point in the northernmost part of the area.

The office buildings for CRM were placed in a spectacular location on the mountain ridge that stretches down from nightland student town.They face the sun and have great views in all directions, and are therefore very suitable for conversion to residential purposes.
Surrounding natural areas with old forest of among other things like oak and beech, are great play and hiking areas for both children, young people and adults. Climatically, the site is somewhat exposed to the wind, but without this detracting from the more sheltered courtyards and spaces between the buildings.
To the north, the area connects to Fantoft center as the last part of a built-up area. This means that the site is completely without through traffic for cars, which opens up additional qualities and possibilities when the area is now to be transformed into housing.
