Renovation and interiors
Careful transformations of existing buildings, from energy upgrades to complete new interiors.
The most sustainable building is often the one that already exists. A lot of Norwegian houses from the twentieth century have good bones: solid structures, well-proportioned rooms and plots with mature gardens. What they need is better insulation, better daylight and a plan that fits how people live today.
We start every renovation with a proper survey of what is there. Measured drawings, moisture readings and a look behind a few wall panels tell us where the risks are before the budget is set.
Interiors are part of the architecture, not something added at the end. We design kitchens, stairs, built-in storage and lighting together with the rooms, using a small palette of materials that age well: oak, lime plaster, linoleum, wool and stone.

How a project runs
Listen
A day on site, a written brief and an honest first estimate of cost and time.
Sketch
Options in physical and 3D models until the plan and the volume feel right.
Detail
Permit drawings, construction details and tender documents for contractors.
Build
Regular site visits and quick answers so the building matches the drawings.
Questions we often get
Is it worth renovating rather than rebuilding?
Usually, yes. Keeping the structure saves most of the embodied carbon and often a good part of the cost. We give you an honest comparison before you decide.
Can you work on listed or protected buildings?
We have renovated several protected houses and work regularly with the heritage authorities on what can change, what must stay and how to document it.
Do you take on interior-only projects?
Yes. Our interior architects work on kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes, with or without changes to the building itself.
