A complex of a supermarket and housing in Trondheim, Norway.

Trondheim is a city with a beautiful landscape of gentle hills. The Hill is located in a residential area on the hillside. A Supermarket and parking lots were buried in artificial hill continuous to the landscape, and detached houses were scattered on the hill.

In the case of such a complex, the general solution is to place a middle-rise box-shaped apartment building on top of a low-rise supermarket, and there are many such cases in Trondheim. In contrast, The Hill was designed to be continuous with the landscape of a good detached residential area and doesn't destroy it. Seen from a distance, it is not strongly conscious of its existence since it gets mixed with the scenery of the residential area.

The residential area on the hill has achieved a high density but good residential environment due to the separation distance and open space for young children based on the regulation.

Except for the handicapped dwelling units that are obliged to be installed, each dwelling unit is basically a two-story building, with an LDK on the upper floor and a roof balcony on the roof using a roof inclination. The hill slope faces to the east, with views of downtown Trondheim and the fjords from the upper floor and roof balcony of each unit.

The exterior wall of each dwelling unit is a modern reinterpretation of the colors of traditional private houses.
