Peter Street .2 takes its cue from the sharp, angular geometry of its glass envelope — a faceted curtain wall that fractures reflected sky into shifting diagonal panels rather than presenting a single flat surface. The result is a building that changes character throughout the day, catching light differently depending on the angle it's viewed from.

Behind the facade, forty residential units are organized around a central circulation core, with the angled glazing pattern calibrated to control solar gain without resorting to deep overhangs or applied shading. Each unit reads the geometry differently up close — some rooms catch a sharp diagonal mullion as a design feature, others sit behind flatter, more restrained panels.

The building sits at a busy Oslo intersection, and the faceted skin was as much a response to the surrounding traffic and noise as it was an aesthetic choice — the folded surface helps diffuse sound reflection back toward the street rather than into the units. Peter Street .2 has become a reference point in the studio's ongoing exploration of performative facades.
