Scandinavian Business Awards 2025

Aug22136 25. AIM-Apr25120 Signaturhagen Communities are the foundation of human connection, shaping our experiences and enriching our lives. Whether through shared spaces, social gatherings, or simply knowing your neighbours, a strong community brings warmth and security to your life. That is exactly what Signaturhagen aims to create – modern living environments designed to blend privacy with vibrant social interaction. As Signaturhagen is named in the Scandinavian Business Awards 2025, we took a closer look at its exceptional endeavours. Signaturhagen Bolig AS is an Oslo-based housing developer dedicated to building modern apartments that are rooted in community and sustainability. Since its inception, the company’s vision has been to build site-adapted projects with these values serving as the fundamental principles. It has achieved this vision, establishing itself as a developer of high quality living spaces designed to foster community connection, with Signaturhagen Nøtterøy standing as its first completed project. The company has other developments in the works, in various stages of progress; spaces in Signaturhagen Stjørdal and Signaturhagen Kongsberg are currently for sale, offering prospective buyers the chance to secure their homes. Meanwhile, upcoming projects such as Signaturhagen Ås and Signaturhagen Bodø are set to launch soon, continuing the company’s vision of blending modern apartments with inviting communal areas. Several other locations, including Tyrifjorden, Son, Bakkestranda Skien, Skjold, and Lillestrøm remain in development, ensuring that future communities will continue to benefit from Signaturhagen’s approach. Residents of Signaturhagen’s innovative developments are provided access to modern communal facilities, including a fitness room, lounge, library, sauna, hobby room, guest, room – all features specially created to promote their overall health and wellbeing. These facilities promote communal living and are open to all residents, providing space for neighbourhood gatherings and events. To ensure seamless functionality between the residents and the spaces, Signaturhagen has collaborated with Heime to develop a neighbourhood app for those who live in its projects to use. Whether reserving the guest apartment before family visits, scheduling a barbecue party with neighbours, or just requesting a neighbour to water their plants whilst on holiday, this app provides residents with a simple tool of community communication. Additionally, residents can organise social groups for events and activities, borrow much-needed tools and ingredients, and simply better integrate themselves into their Signaturhagen community. Across Signaturhagen’s projects, its most standout feature is its signature indoor garden. These gardens are designed to be vibrant, year-round experiences for the residents, providing them with a beautiful and plant-rich environment – even when it is too slippery and cold to venture outside. This unique approach is driven by the company’s belief that the garden provides more enrichment than merely being an area for socialising, influenced by the philosophy of Jørn Viumdal, Founder of BioOffice and a partner in the development of the garden projects. Jørn Viumdal is the author of The Forest Air Effect, a key motivator behind the project. An extract from the book, describing the effect indoor plants have on people, reads: “We humans are made to be outside, but we spend 90% our time indoors.” This statement has driven Signaturhagen’s promotion of verdant indoor spaces that take advantage of the excessive time an individual may spend indoors by providing them with the very same benefits within the comfort of their own home. Many of the trees, plants, and bottom plants used in Signaturhagen’s gardens are handpicked from nurseries across the Caribbean, U.S.A., and Southern Europe. Plants are selected based on their adaptability to the mood and growing conditions of each individual project, with a good mixture of flowering and green plants chosen. The garden conservatories are air-conditioned to be temperate year-round, a capability that enables Signaturhagen to fill each garden with green plants that just grow and grow, sheltered from harsh sub-zero temperatures, snow, and ice. Every aspect of Signaturhagen’s work is thoughtfully designed to enhance the mental, physical, and overall wellbeing of its residents while championing sustainability and community at every level/ From its diverse range of communal spaces to its meticulously balanced indoor gardens, each detail reflects the company’s commitment to creating harmonious living environments. This dedication has earned Signaturhagen the Excellence Award for Wellbeing-Focused Living Spaces 2025, reinforcing its status as a leader in community-driven housing. With this prestigious recognition, Signaturhagen sets the stage for a future of innovative developments and continued advancements in community-based accommodation – further solidifying its position as Norway’s Most CommunityFocused Housing Developer 2025.
