The story of Hauskvartalet, a block of 19th Century townhouses in the centre of Oslo, has been going on for the last 15 years. Squatters moved into the disused municipally owned property in 1999, and started up a number of housing- and cultural initiatives. In 2008 a unanimous city council voted for a local plan that formalised the area as an experimental area for urban sustainability, but the following year the municipality were ordered to sell the property on the open market for development.
In 2014 architects Eriksen Skajaa Arkitekter, in collaboration with the Hauskvartalet users and residents, proposed a cooperative housing development on the site, based on extensive participation processes, and submitted a bid together with developers Anthon B. Nilsen Eiendom. The municipality rejected the bid.
Here, Arkitektur N presents the proposal in detail. Discussions surrounding the sale are still ongoing.
