Project:
Living Roa - Collective Identities

KY808 - ROA LIVING ROA - COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES

The proposal envisions a new neighborhood at the heart of Roa, transforming a fragmented, car-oriented town into a cohesive, walkable place. Positioned between the center and surrounding nature, the site reconnects urban life with landscape, becoming a key anchor for sustainable growth. It integrates compact housing, public spaces, biodiversity, and circular resource use in a flexible, adaptive framework.
Frøystad is built around two courtyards linked by a green corridor, with phased, small-scale development. It forms a new civic and ecological core, offering shared spaces, services, and homes that foster healthy, connected living. Architecture reflects local heritage through timber, pitched roofs, and reused materials, supporting a low-impact lifestyle rooted in place.
