Description
This is probably also due to the fact that it was not built from wood like many other houses in Norway, but from concrete with lots of glass. And the different shapes and facade sections will certainly have favoured this reaction. It is a clear sign of international, modern architecture that the facade is also influenced by the by the rooms' function and kind of use as well as the clear grid system formed by the pillars and ceilings. In this house, for example, large window panes are inserted on the raised ground floor for reception and living areas. The curved window front emphasises this zone. It is very interesting that the first floor was designed completely differently, as the house also served as a home for an art collection. The facade is positioned in front of the supporting pillars and has smaller windows so that the room with the artworks is illuminated but the artworks themselves do not receive any sunlight. The upper floor for living rooms is set behind the supporting pillars and has small loggias.The house is often compared with theories and buildings by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. This is because it is based on the pillars, which are also visible on the ground floor, and it was therefore possible to dispense with load-bearing internal walls. The rooms can be designed flexibly and are suffused with light.

History
The architect Arne Korsmo drew up the initial ideas in 1936, before construction began in 1938 and the building was ready in 1939. The house is considered Norway's absent modern style icon. In 1974, the owner Rolf Stenersen handed the house over to the state. It served as an official residence for a Norwegian prime minister and heads of the Foreign Office. The NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg lived in the house with his father as a young man in the early 1990s. The house has been open to the public since 2000 and has been part of the National Museum since 2014.
