Amazing news: the Guaraní project in the rainforest of northern Argentina has received NOK 195 000,- funding from the hiphop act KARPE and the PAF Foundation.

Together with the Guaraní people, we are working to strengthen their role as guardians of the forest through a self-building system rooted in local materials and traditional building knowledge.

This work feels especially urgent: rainforests are home to around 90% of Earth’s species, yet more than half of all tropical rainforests have been destroyed in the last 100 years. Protecting them should be of high priority.

Many Guaraní communities live under pressure from modern development, and the struggle for land rights is central to their survival.

You can be part of this project by donating to our SPLEIS (link in bio) Your support truly makes a difference.

Thank you, KARPE — this support means a lot.

The Guaraní project is a collaboration between Oslotre AS l Timber Architecture and Arkitekter Uten Grenser Norge

To build sustainably in Zanzibar, Oslotre As had to invent a brand-new material: coco-crete, modeled on the more northerly hempcrete. Read Arkitektur’s interview with Oslotre As creative director Jørgen Tycho here. 😁

For å bygge bærekraftig i Zanzibar, måtte Jørgen Tycho finne opp det splitter nye materialet coco-crete. Etter mal fra den nordligere hampbetongen.

Excited to share a new project we’ve been deep in lately at Oslotre As; pushing the limits of timber and digital fabrication by designing and building six-metre-tall wooden “teeth” for Dyreparken’s new Karius and Baktus attraction in Kristiansand, Norway.

Using advanced 3D modelling and high-precision robotic milling, we’re turning locally sourced Norwegian logs into free-form timber structures that anchor a walk-through experience inside “Jens’” mouth, from the fantastic universe of Torbjørn Egner.
The design is developed in close cooperation with Animasjonsdepartementet and the Egner family, with Dyreparken as our client.

Fabrication is underway in Southern Norway with Aanesland Treindustri, Sørlaminering and Omtre, with our sister company Oslopre handling the complex on-site assembly. Installation is planned for summer 2026, with the attraction set to open in spring 2027.

This you DO NOT WANT TO MISS! 😁

We are co-creating a H**pcrete Building Workshop in Oslo, 23–25 February 2026—a certified professional training program featuring Europe’s leading hemp-lime experts, with a focus on industrial prefabrication and building systems in hempcrete.

The course is designed for architects, engineers, developers, home builders and professionals in the building and construction sector who want a thorough, hands-on, systems-oriented understanding of hempcrete as a modern building material.

The workshop is led by some of Europe’s most experienced hemp-lime construction practitioners, including Daniel Daviller (Technical Director for Eco-Materials at Chaux Saint-Astier®, former CEO at Tradical/Weber) and Peter Holmdahl from the Nordic H**p Building School.

The course is delivered in collaboration with the Nordic H**p Building School, S3C - Sustainable Community Component Catalogue, FiberTech International, House of H**p AB, Hemsta., GrindHeim, Natural State, Oslotre As, Oslopre, and Forum for Trekonstruksjoner - FFT.

Members of Forum for Trekonstruksjoner - FFT receive a €50 discount per participant.

We’re rebuilding the way we build

Oslotre As has been invited to lead a research and development project in East Africa focused on timber and bio-based architecture. In a region where clay, lime, fibre, earth, and wood are still part of a living material tradition, we’re working with a local, interdisciplinary team; developers, economists, architects, urban planners, timber producers, permaculture designers, and forest & landowners, to develop and test solutions in real time.

We’re creating bioclimatic architecture and standardised building systems based on local materials and climatic conditions, shaped into housing and neighbourhood models that combine low cost, low footprint, and high quality of life. The goal is an urban building system that is prefabricated, fast, circular, and resilient in a changing climate, paired with neighbourhood planning that puts people and nature at the centre.

Why it matters for Europe: the questions are the same. How do we build faster and smarter without sacrificing quality? How do we create beautiful, affordable, climate-robust homes, and neighbourhoods that build identity, safety, and community from day one? And how can local, circular bio-based materials replace fossil-heavy materials like concrete?

We’ll share insights and prototypes along the way. Follow the journey, or reach out if you’d like an informal conversation about collaboration; post@oslotre.no

If we want homes people can truly afford, we can’t keep building the way we always have. It’s time for new thinking, both in the materials we use and in how we design, assemble, and deliver buildings.

Together with a strong group of industry partners, we’re developing a new timber based housing model that lowers costs, reduces resource use, and makes large-scale, sustainable buildings possible.

This collaboration connects expertise from across the Norwegian value chain, including Oslotre As, Ny Struktur AS, Norconsult, Moelven, Dekagon, InnoTre, PROCON, Woodfab, Optimera, Sørlaminering, Backe Rogaland, Massivtre as, Oslopre and many more.

For us at Oslotre As, it’s a privilege to lead this work and work with companies that share a genuine commitment to smarter, circular ways of building. We’re not just exploring new solutions—we’re implementing them.
