# Curved Vintage Home Extensions Vatn Architecture and Groma Create the Dråpa Extension By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drpa References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/09/13/vatn-architecture-groma-drapa-extension/) & [studiovatn](https://www.studiovatn.com/)  Norwegian design studios Vatn Architecture and Groma work together to create an [extension in a home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-house-extension) dubbed the Dråpa. It is located in Oslo and is defined by its [curved form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-within-a-few-lines) with a large terrace that provides a captivating view of the city and its archipelago. The extension is made for a painter and filmmaker with influences drawn from the 1930s architecture of the suburban area. The founder of Vatn Architecture, Espen Vtan shares with Dezeen, "The existing house is a well-preserved example of the period, but zoning rules often lead to [pitch roofs or boxy extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-house-extension) that stand out as foreign objects. We therefore consider the curved shape of the extension as in line with the house's char­acter, and possibly in line with how an extension would have been made at the time the house was built."
