The studio, since 2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine architects,
one long table.<\/h1>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

We are architects, an interior designer and a landscape architect, working from an old print shop on Fjellbryggen. Every project is drawn at the same table, so the person who walked your site is the one who details your windows.<\/p>\n\n\nMeet the people<\/span><\/svg><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\"A<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n

Stone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Build on what is there. We use the rock, the slope and the stone already on the site before we bring anything new to it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Weathered<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n

Timber<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use what grows nearby and let it weather. Spruce and pine, detailed so that rain runs off and the grey comes evenly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Daylight<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n

Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Draw for the low sun. Rooms are planned around the light in February, not July, with windows placed where the sun actually reaches.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n
\n
\n\n

How a project runs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow at the start, so the building can be quick.<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n\n

Listening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two to four weeks<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

We walk the site with you, in more than one kind of weather, and write down what you need and what you hope for.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Sketching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Four to six weeks<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Pencil plans, sections and a card model. We test two or three directions before we choose one together.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Drawing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Three to five months<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Detailed drawings, materials and joinery, permits and a budget you can trust, coordinated with the engineers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Building<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Six to eighteen months<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

We stay on as your architect on site, answer the builder’s questions and protect the design when budgets get tight.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Living with it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One visit, a year on<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

We come back after the first winter to see how the building has settled, and fix what needs fixing.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
