Architecture & Interiors · Oslo / Copenhagen
Scale 1 : 200
N 59°54′ · Est. 2018
An architecture and interior practice working at the slow intersection of landscape, light, and material.
We build slowly, so the building can last quietly.
Every project begins on foot. We walk the site at three different hours of the day, in two different seasons if the timeline allows it. Drawings come later, after we understand the light.
Our work favours stone, oak, and lime over gesture. We design fewer projects each year than most studios our size, and we accept that as a permanent condition of the practice.

Practice · Commitments
Six things we always do.
Site first
Three visits, two seasons, before a single drawing leaves the studio.
Drawings by hand
Every concept begins on paper. Software follows once we know the shape
Materials we know
We specify only materials we have built with by hand at least once before.
Partners on site
A founding partner attends every site visit. No exceptions, no juniors sent in our place.
No outsourced design
Every drawing is made in this studio. We never subcontract creative work
Stay through season one
We return after the first winter to check the work and document what we learned.

"They asked us better questions than we knew how to answer. The house we ended up with is the one we didn't know we wanted."
