Solem Forest House
Located in a residential area on the outskirts of Oslo, the Solem Forest House stands just east of Maridalsvannet, the city’s primary water reservoir. The property is situated on a gently sloping ridge, defined by mature pines and dense forest, within a regulated watershed where construction must meet stringent conditions to protect the water supply.
