Building types

Four building types, one module system.

Every Halden building is assembled from the same 3.0 × 12.0 m module. That is what makes it possible to extend, shrink and relocate – and what keeps the drawings predictable for permits and tenders.

  • Typically leased 1–4 years
  • Relocated after use

Courtyard with glass facades and young trees

Type 4 · Add-on

Extension module

One or two classrooms added to an existing Halden pavilion – or to another relocatable building after a technical check of the connection.

  • 1–2 classrooms
  • Connection check first
  • Same contract as pavilion
