Building on current scholarship and empirical evidence from the research conducted by the author on Norwegian Turkish communities in the city of Drammen, Norway, this paper discusses the process of home-making by the descendants of Turkish immigrants in Norway, the so-called second- and third-generation. By doing so it develops a model of a transdimensional home that attempts to embrace the multiple and seemingly contradictory meanings and reflections of home involving eight dimensions identified in the narrations of the respondents: spatial, material, relational, home as routines and protection, home as origin, sensorial home, gendered relationships at home, and rejection from home. The model of a transdimensional home highlights people’s emotional and practical balancing acts between the ancestral country of origin and the place they live in. It aims at grasping the dynamics between these dimensions, approaching home as occurring at their intersection. It also underlines the processual character of the making of home in relation to the surrounding circumstances.

本文基于作者对挪威德拉门（Drammen）市的挪威土耳其社区进行的研究获得的当前奖学金和经验证据，本文讨论了挪威土耳其移民的后代（所谓的“第二代”和第三代。通过这样做，它建立了一个多维家庭的模型，该模型试图包含家庭的多重且看似矛盾的含义和反映，其中涉及受访者的叙述中确定的八个维度：空间，物质，关系，作为常规的家庭和保护，作为家庭的保护。出身，感官家庭，家庭性别关系和家庭排斥。多维房屋的模型突出了人们在祖传祖国与居住地之间的情感和实际平衡行为。它的目的是掌握这些维度之间的动态关系，使其在交点处趋近。它还强调了与周围环境相关的房屋建造的过程特征。
