The new family home in Drøbak in Oslo Fjord fits in beautifully with its surroundings. Using Cover gives the maintenance-free façades a sense of kinship with the neighbouring wooden houses.

On arrival at the site, you encounter the garage and then the house, which consists of two interlocking, two-storey wings of different sizes.

At 200m2, the house is bigger than its neighbours, but breaking it up into two volumes and cladding them in different materials makes it all look smaller than it really is. The vast majority of houses in the area are clad in wood. Following their lead, we clad the smallest wing in cedar.

The client wanted the biggest wing to be maintenance free. Cover’s profile resembles overlapping wood panels and requires no maintenance, so the client was on board with this idea right from the start. He chose a very light Cover, which harmonises with the white-painted wooden façades of the neighbouring houses.
