The fiords, the sea and the park are the context for the project of a new housing quarter of Bergen in Norway. Located just outside the historic city centre, Møllendal has for decades been inaccessible and unsuited for public use so making a fracture between two parts of the town. Rabatanalab aims to reconnect and to give continuity to a new territory exploring transitions between land and water; the goal is to create the conditions for regenerating the area into an attractive and active waterfront neighborhood. The work shows a self-sufficient residential district which encourages more self-organization, social relationships and culture of sharing spaces and functions.
