- Villa Melkeveien by LOGG ArkitekterOslo-based <a href="http://logg.no/" target="_blank">LOGG Arkitekter</a> recently completed Villa Melkeveien, a luxury home that boasts a contemporary and environmentally friendly design. Located on a sunny hillside in Holmenkollen overlooking <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/oslo" target="_blank">Oslo</a>, the generously glazed home is wrapped in horizontal <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/kebony/" target="_blank">Kebony wood</a> cladding. The locally manufactured Kebony wood was selected for its high durability and lower carbon footprint as compared to its tropical hardwood equivalents.1
