We recently submitted our contribution to the exhibition “Commoning Kits” and look forward sharing our proposal with you as soon as the exhibition opens at Form / Design Centre in Malmö (Sweeden), the 7^th of September 2017.

“Commoning Kits” will be an exhibition of ideas – architectural concepts for a socially and ecologically sustainable city – from a small selection of Nordic architects. The exhibition is linked to Malmö City’s work with the Sege Park district; A former sanatorium that is planned to become a window for sustainable urban construction.

Each if the selected studios are assigned a theme for community with purpose of showing different architectural opportunities for urban communities.

The exhibition is curated by Kjellander Sjöberg Architects.

Proud to be part of the strategy work for tourism in Årdal, an industrial town next to Norway’s largest fjord and the dramatic mountains of Jotunheimen. The strategy is developed in collaboration with Mimir AS and Årdal Utvikling, in close dialogue with people and tourism operators from the local community.

These days students from the three architectural schools in Norway are visiting a brought variety of architectural studios in Oslo. The project (Hurtigpraksis) has ambitions to provide the students with insight into the different possibilities in “life after school”. We were happy to host eight enthusiastic students that got to test one of our projects in real scale, in our back yard. Later on we discussed the issues reviled in the test and worked together on improving and evolving the projects further. A great day!

We have been selected to design a small chapel in Meløy Municipanity close to The Black Glacier (Svartisen)! We recently visited the wonderful site and can’t wait to get started. For the next half year we will be working closely with the local project group to establish a seremoni room with the intention of making it an exciting tourist destination for both the local inhabitants and visiting tourists.

We recently got the exciting task of designing a small summer house on Østerøya, a narrow peninsula south of the city of Sandefjord. The site is rich in qualities, from sheltered outdoor space to beautiful exposed bedrock and a stunning panoramic ocean view. The site is located in a strictly regulated area, right next to a small bathing spot 20 meters east of the existing cabin.
