A renovation of a 1960s office building in the centre of Oslo. The scope of the project included a new personnel restaurant for the building’s tenants as well as a complete renovation of the public spaces within the building. We were inspired by the buildings existing architecture and tried to create an interior that was coherent with the buildings exterior. We’ve used materials that reflect the time that the building was build but have detailed them in a modern and minimalistic way. The restaurant has been designed to be flexible and is used throughout the day, breakfast meetings in the morning, lunch and lectures in the afternoon, as well as events in the evening.

This office concept for Höegh Eiendom was drawn for their property, Indekshuset, which is a iconic 1960s office building in the centre of Oslo. The design intension was to separate the meeting rooms from the open office with a central coffee/informal meeting/entrance that divides the two. There are also small phone rooms scattered throughout the space to provide private work areas.

A renovation of a 5-story home on the Oslo fjord. Our challenge create a functional home for a young family while softening the hard-edged feeling of the houses modern architecture. Our concept was to use natural elements in the interior palette including wool, leather, wood, stone and sea grass. We reorganized the plan creating larger bathrooms on the top level andan open kitchen that flows into the dining and living areas on the main level. In the lower levels we designed spaces for entertaining including a party room with a pool table wrap around sofa and bar, a cinema room, a kids room, a spa area with a sauna and outdoor areas for dining and lounging. This project was published in Bo Bedre as home of the month, July, 2014.

In this renovation of a row house in an Oslo suburb the initial challenge was to redesign the kitchen and bathroom so that they were larger, more functional spaces. We reorganised the floorpan by removing and repositioning walls, upgraded the house with new materials and surfaces, and we designed key built in pieces like bookshelves in the dining area. In addition to reupholstering and reusing some of the clients exiting furniture we added a few our own furniture pieces including the Ull & Eik dining bench, sofa and puff.
In this renovation of a Oslo Apartment with beautiful exiting classic details our challenge was to reorganise the plan to create more usable spaces. We removed a small bedroom behind the kitchen to make a large open kitchen/dining area. Then we divided one of the large bedrooms into two creating a small tv room and extra bedroom. We also removed all of the walls in the bathroom to create large open space with a classic english bathtub at the centre. We designed some new furniture, like the dining set and the headboard/drawer unit, as well as reupholstering some of the clients existing furniture.
