Hey, Kaja.

Hey. Kaja.

What are you doing?

-I thought you might want coffee.
-You can't be here. Please leave.

And I just wanted
to say sorry for the cucumbers.

It's just that...

I didn't want to tell my ex
that I live in the parking garage.

I didn't know you were home.
I thought you were working.

You should see the flat
he shares with his new girlfriend.

Fine.

I can't have coffee in this dress.
It's expensive.

Goodbye. See you later.

THE ARCHITECT

Hi.

-Can I help you with something?
-Hi. There you are.

Thank you.

I'm just looking for...

-I'm looking for Marcus.
-I think he...

-Hi!
-There he is.

There he is.

-Yes.
-Yes. Welcome.

-Should I show you around?
-I don't have a lot of time, so...

-Let's just go, then.
-Let's just get it done.

Right.

Okay. I'll just... with this.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Ready?
-Yes.

I just...

What's up?

-Should we not do this?
-No!

-Yes. Or?
-Don't you want kids?

-Yes, I want children.
-Okay, then we have to do this.

-Okay, sure.
-Yes, yes. Do it. Do it!

-But Nina...
-Just do it.

Yes. Okay.

Stay still.

-Easy. No twitching.
-No, just...

-There. All done.
-Are you done?

-That went great.
-Yes.

Yes.

Why did things end between you?

I didn't have time for a boyfriend.

And he wanted kids and stuff.
It was just a bad match.

-Lucky we found the couch.
-Yeah.

It's not often
you find furniture in the street.

Hold on.
I just have to fix something.

-Hey.
-Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm making sure
he can sleep on this.

It's Werna Wulff. You can't do that!

Who the hell is Werna Wulff?

Werna Wulff is Germany's
most famous industrial designer.

-You don't know who Werna Wulff is?
-No.

Do you know how much work
is behind this bench?

-Someone drew this!
-Julie, it's just a bench!

It's art!

-I can't let you do it.
-Julie, he needs a place to sleep.

-Don't worry about me.
-Stay out of this.

I don't care if it's art or not.
You will sleep here.

-I can find another place to sleep.
-But Dad...

Kaja, don't worry about me.

I'll manage.

Is he your father?

Can you move?

There.

Hold on.

-What are you doing?
-Join me.

No, stop it.

-I have work tomorrow.
-Huh?

-I have work tomorrow!
-Whatever!

There's so much noise!

-Hiro, turn off the music!
-Music off.

-Hiro, turn on the music.
-Music on.

-Hiro, turn off the music!
-Music off.

Can you stop?

-Hiro, turn on the music.
-Music on.

Nina! Stop it. What are you doing?

Just let me listen to the music!
Don't touch me!

-Hiro, turn off the music.
-Music off.

Why are you turning off the music?
Can't I just keep the music on?

Nina, it's the middle of the night.
What's going on?

Something's wrong.

It's not working.

It's not working, Marcus.

I think they forgot something
when they stitched me up.

-No.
-Yes.

They didn't forget anything.

-Come here.
-No.

Nina, come here.

Come here.

-For how long has your dad been...?
-On the street?

It's been on and off for a while.

And your mother?

It's always just been Dad and me.

What about your parents?

They don't live in Oslo,
so I don't see them much.

-Wow.
-Ta-da!

Don't they ever visit you?

Here?

They think I live
in a renovated flat in Sinsen.

No...

With my boyfriend.

We hardly ever talk to each other.

I hardly ever talk
to my father either.

Why not?

You could invite him over
for Sunday dinner?

We're not really
a dinner-type family.

-Are we absolutely sure about this?
-Huh?

It's a great idea.
We'll win the whole thing.

I'm just thinking about everyone
living in the parking garage.

Okay? How so?

If we win, they'll get evicted.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Yeah. I mean, they're not allowed
to live there anyway, so...

When did you start caring
about other people?

Julie, you need that money.

You can't live in a parking garage
for the rest of your life.

-I don't know.
-You don't know?

You know you don't want that. Hello?

Let's just win that contest
and get that money.

You'll get a flat.
I'll get my life back.

Everything will be fine.
Everyone will be happy.

-Okay, but...
-Wait.

No, I showed you before.

It will get ruined
if you press it too much.

-You have to go to Advanced.
-No, do one at a time.

There. Now we'll leave it alone.

You're welcome.

Okay. I'll put this on my desk.

ARKITECH
WERNA WULFF - NOT JUST A BENCH

What are you doing up so early?

-I have an important day today.
-Oh.

-Sort of.
-What's up?

It's just a project at work
I find kind of difficult.

By the way, I talked to your father.

-Why?
-He's coming over tonight.

I invited him for dinner.

-You did what?
-I know it's not Sunday.

-But he had plans then.
-Why did you...

What are you talking about?

-You said you wanted Sunday dinner.
-I never said that.

I don't need your help, Julie.

As you can see
in the VR presentation,

each housing unit comes
with an integrated wall of lights

which emulates
the movement of the sun.

We live in a time

when most people can only dream
of owning their own home.

Even though the standard isn't high,
you will at least own it.

And you think people will buy flats
without windows?

Well, that's why we have
this wall of lights.

That's not the same thing.

No, it's not exactly
the same, but...

And these flats are tiny.
How will you fit a family in there?

That's something
we've thought about.

What have you thought?

For instance,
you can remove one of the walls.

That will double its size.
So that's a solution.

But then we can't build
1,000 flats anymore.

That's true.

But if we could just...

What this is really all about

is helping people who can't
get into the housing market.

-No, it's not about helping people.
-Who's talking?

Julie Alm.
The architect behind CubeZ.

I think we've seen enough.
Thank you for coming.

Let's be honest
about what this is all about.

It's about making money.

-Lobos isn't running a charity.
-Exactly.

And you can make lots of money
building studio flats.

The core family is history.

80% of Norwegians are single,

and the rest of them
rarely have babies.

You can keep building
two-bedroom flats,

but who are you building them for?

The demand for studio flats
downtown is increasing.

A parking garage, like this one,

which once could fit 1,000 cars,
can now fit 1,000 flats.

This is really interesting,

but are people actually willing
to live in a parking garage?

From what I've heard,
it's super hot in Berlin.

They keep their ear
to the ground in Berlin, for sure.

And people are happy
without windows?

It's almost more common to live
below the ground than above it.

And the concessions
in the legislation mean

we don't need to create buildings
with windows anymore.

-Besides, glass is very expensive.
-Glass is very expensive.

That's why we have
this wall of lights, right?

The costs related to CubeZ
are marginal

compared to today's
housing projects.

The structure is already there.
It's a reusable foundation.

It's sustainable and tax deductible.

And besides,
it has a central location.

What are these parking garages
used for today?

They're empty.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hans, please contact Kristian
at Kilde Contractors

and Øyvind
at Hitland & Co. to get a quote.

We sure saved that one.

Yeah.

Hey!

-Hi.
-Hi.

There you are.

Right...

Dad and I have talked a bit.

We thought maybe
he could move in here?

If that's all right with you,
of course.

-Sure, that's fine with me.
-Yeah?

Are you hungry?
We have lots of spaghetti.

-Thanks, but I just ate.
-Okay.

I just want to say sorry
for being a jerk.

That's okay.

And thank you.

But hey, how did it go today?

It didn't go so well.

We don't have to talk about it.

Okay. Come on.
