A sun-filled and spacious master wing emerges from a dark disused basement, in a family house in Oslo.

An art installation inviting school children to produce their own visual artwork using vintage modular sound synthesizers.

We created a vibrant and flexible social space at the heart of a family home, for parents and children to share meals and be creative together around a large communal table,

We explored in this collaborative study how to create empowering and safe accommodation for young people leaving foster care.

We remodelled a former boiler house to accommodate a home office and guest living quarters. Careful organisation of the vertical space and the addition of an anonymous ‘pod’ to the exterior complete the transformation.

We embraced traditional Nordic log construction to create this very personal winter retreat in Sjusjøen.

How a small but well designed extension can completely transform a house into a spacious home.

We helped unlock the potential of a complex site in Oslo, identifying alternative development strategies, to help the developer and site owner build architecture that is both inspiring and financially viable.

Combining our interests in micro-architecture, prefabrication and self-building, this new workspace for our UK office is an exercise in teleportation, designed to take us from the everyday hurly burly to a another world — one of calm, quiet and focus. 

Overlooking a natural reserve in Oslo, this landscaping project dovetails the different exterior spaces around a private house with a spiral staircase, doubling as a “tree house” for the children.

How to extend a 1930s 'Arts and Crafts' style detached house? Our response is a sensitively designed contemporary extension that extends the living space and amenities of the home without impinging on the neighbours or detracting from the proud character of the original house.

We developed a collaborative art performance of "soundscape drawing", weaving live watercolour painting, phase music and computer animations, in collaboration with French art collective Qubo Gas and musician DDDxie.

We redesigned a cabin nested in the rocks on the Oslo fjord to comfortably welcome three different generations.

We designed this modular micro-exhibition pod to playfully showcase impromptu art projections in the street of Calgary. And — best of all — the exhibition is also its own shipping crate!

We extended an old mountain cabin into a functional winter retreat for the whole family, preserving its humble and rustic character — as well as our client's childhood memories!

Designed in collaboration with our self-builder client, this new-built family house spreads into two wings intersecting with the landscape, reconciling our clients' wishes for both discrete privacy and openness to the surrounding woodlands.

We combined contemporary construction techniques and minimalist detailing to redefine the flow in and out of a traditional English cottage.

We helped our self-builder clients convert a century-old stone barn into a stunning family home and guest house.

We designed a "zero carbon in use" eco-home in a protected rural area, combining PassivHaus environmental performance and contemporary architectural details with a traditional material palette.

Mixing public art, craftsmanship and education, we initiated this project as a student design competition, and later transformed it into an involved exploration of traditional stone walling techniques and complex numerical modelling.

In response to the Structures on the Edge competition, we collaborated with artist Tristan Hessing to explore the ambivalent relationship between art and nature conservation. We designed a shifting public art installation on the wild beaches of the Lincolnshire coast, on the theme of extreme picnicking.

After retiring from his career as a journalist, our client needed additional space at home and asked us to design a new art studio that could also be used as an office for his freelance work. Our design was Highly Commended by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
