Fjordvangen Manor House
Residence of Haldis Nyborg and her daughter Nora Nyborg
The residence of Haldis Nyborg, the co-founder of the Matriarchy Nationalist Party (MNP) in Imperial Norway. This house is featured in various stories. For instance in the Imperial Norway 2053 novel the rescue team going to Neo Dixie meet here for briefings.
In much later events AJ Drakon and Claire Adley end up here in relation to a coup d'état by commander Modgunn which leads Haldis Nyborg to become the new supreme leader.
Bedrooms
Because I like to potentially have some naughty action happening in the bedrooms, I had to think of what they would look like in Fjordvangen Manor. I went for something that is supposed to look a bit like old money Norway. These sorts of houses would have tall ceilings. Norwegian houses are dominated by wooden elements and tends to love white coloring or light colors.
Bedrooms at Fjordvangen Manor
It is of course hard to always get totally Norwegian style as AI is so much more trained on American and British architectural styles. E.g. the column in one of these bedrooms is quite unlikely to exist in a Norwegian home.
Kitchen
I struggled a bit creating the right look for the kitchen. I wanted to crazy a sort of cozy classy kitchen with light colors in a very Norwegian style. That is hard to achieve though.
So what I ended up with is a kind of upscale Norwegian farmhouse style. It would have these kinds of strong colors.
About the house and architecture
The Nyborg family is old money. They live live in a large house, Fjordvangen Manor built in Norwegian Swiss style on the Bygdøy peninsula . It is an architectural style that differs from the Swiss style that inspired it in that it building on Norwegian wood working traditions and is thus known for very elaborate wood carvings in the facade.
It also features a tower which is a popular architectural element in Oslo on buildings from late 1800s and early 1900s.
