A house for Ole with friends

Can the residential areas in Oslo, be densified in a sustainable way socially, environmentally and culturally, with the recently revised zoning plan for these areas, Smahusplanen?

With the new regulations some of the sites that could have been densified, can not. As a result these areas are getting more exclusive as well as houses still will be demolished to be replaced by denser ones with more units.

The house for Ole with friends is a transformation of a detached house from 1960, a house for Ole with wife. Can the site be densified without demolition, while taking into account the recently adopted changes to the Smahusplan?

By adding to the old house with a universal design, my aim is to explore the feasibility of enhancing accessibility in the residential areas, socially and physically.
