Peer comment(s):

disagree Thomas Deschington (X) : I disagree with you in this context because the architect Aasland died in 1968, and the project you refer to is from the 1970s. Plus a "skivehus" is a type of "høyhus".

Norwegian term (edited): skivehus

high-rise building with rectangular base

There might be a more precise term for this type of building, but at least this is what the building is according to definition.
Example sentence:

Vi kan snakke om to hovedtyper høyhus; skivehus med tydelig rektangulær grunnflate og tårnhus med tilnærmet kvadratisk eller sirkulær grunnflate.
