Møllebakken contains of 200 apartments and houses built of brick and slate with large terraces. The units follow Møllebakkens’ sloping terrain, where the houses height, pitched roofs and footprint rhythmical shifts in vertical and horizontal directions. The development is inspired from the scale and architecture found in the old city center. Four clusters of housing units draw the rim toward the surrounding roads and opens up towards the center of the project area, leaving space for connecting paths and recreational spaces.
