Arctanderbyen, Garden city in Ekebergskrenten, Norway.
Arctanderbyen features 29 vertically divided duplex houses arranged along Svingen and Egnehjemveien streets, surrounded by green spaces and residential parks.
The construction of this residential area occurred between 1910 and 1911, following a design competition initiated by Mayor Sofus Arctander in 1907.
The architecture follows English housing models, emphasizing natural light and visibility, marking an early phase of social housing initiatives in Norway.
The residential complex extends from Svingen 12 to 42 and Egnehjemveien 1 to 44, with Terrasseparken located west of Egnehjemveien.
The site holds protected status under the Planning and Building Act, preserving its original garden city design principles from the early 20th century.
