This is a paper project for a tall residential building with 18 flats and a communal roof terrace. The tower is divided into 10 sections. Each section is further subdivided into 3 stories.

The building has a concrete core with a general staircase and lifts. Each floor of the individual flats can be accessed directly from the core. Inside the flat a spiral staircase allows the resident to experience a triple height space as part of the internal circulation. Further, each flat has access to an inset balcony on the lower floor.

The design for the hotel was developed trough a series of initial studies including photographing and recreating a specific atmosphere, writing and a detailed survey of elements from the sites approximate surroundings. The hotel itself was developed in physical models with the hotel room as the main focus.

From the outside the building does not stand out from its historical surroundings, although it is clearly a modern building. It is not possible to tell that it is a luxury hotel. The building offers discreteness. The inside of the hotel is a secret you have to reveal, layer by layer, while approaching and entering it.

I have been fortunate to collaborate on a proposal for a semi-detached house in East London. The building consists of a basement and two stories above ground.

The first floor is set back in order to let natural light in to the ground floor living and dining room. The light is further filtered trough the exposed beams and helps accentuate the brick wall.

The two photos are of a space (bottom) which has been recreated in a physical model (top). The objective was not to recreate the mere building or room, but also the atmosphere.

2,
The line drawing is a recreation of Bedford Square nr. 15, London, in elevation and section. The study shows how the building carefully manages thresholds and the richness found in a seemingly simple fasade.

This is a project for an artium house with a tower. The plan is a perfect square. From the entrance one is presented with the kitchen and dining table. Moving on further, one encounters the living room and of a glazed hallway to the children's bedrooms and bathroom. The last side of the square contains a workshop and a tower. The tower, with it's separate entrance, gives room to the master bedroom and a study at the second floor.

I held a position as editor for the 7th issue of +Kote Magazine.

The magazine is run by young professionals within the fields of architecture, urbanism and landscape. The topic for the 7th issue is 'Atmosphere.'

Has modern day living become too organized? Do inner city kids and youth have enough freedom in their physical surroundings? Is it possible to dedicate a lot of time to unorganized sports and activities if living in the city centre? These were some of the questions I asked myself while working on the diploma project. It looks to create an urban hangout spot for street based activities and sports in the centre of Oslo.

The central cross shaped path is elevated in relation to the activities which are sunken down. This artificial topography creates a hierarchy and subdivides the plaza into smaller areas and zones. By manipulating the section there is no need for fences or walls. The goal is to create the sense of one big plaza, but at the same time dividing it into smaller and distinct parts where each group can establish their own culture. Storm water management has been translated into a design feature and used as a structuring element. The artificial topography establishes a heavy and robust base on which a lighter colonnade sits.

The colonnade runs along the perimeter of the plaza. It offers shelter from rain, but the main function is to establish a buffer zone between the plaza and the city Around. The threshold provided by the colonnade adds a certain degree of protection both physically and physiologically for the users while still offering glimpses for the passers bye to what is going on in the plaza. A shop, a restaurant and public toilets are also found in the colonnade. The structure is covered by an inverted roof with wild grass on top. The green roof offers a garden to the neighbouring buildings overlooking the plaza.

The project is an alternative to the two dimensional approach normally seen in housing projects today. The project is consists of three main components. The first is a rational core containing the entry, bathrooms and kitchen. The second is an internal landscape occupying the three dimensional living space. The last is the triangular structure covering the in-between space. The system allows for adaptation to a complex landscape both horizontally and vertically. The triangular structure is cut out from a rectangular pice of wood by splitting it with one diagonal cut, and the ends are milled with a computer aided robot arm.

This is a project for a market. In addition to the market, the program consists of a supermarket, commerce, restaurant, offices and under ground parking.The sita has a corner and a larger central space with buildings surrounding it to the north and vest, and roads to the south and east. The corner gives room to the building with the supermarket and offices at the upper level and commerce on the ground floor. The widest part creates a podium for the outdoor fresh food market. It is built up by modules of inverted umbrellas which collects rainwater that is used to clean the podium floor.

The program challenged to transform an empty church into an extension of a museum of contemporary art (MACBA).

The program demanded a basement and a connection to the main building on the sub-level. This brought up the interesting challenge of making a basement under an existing building. The interior of the church is completely changed. I contains a ground floor, second floor with a gallery and a upper floor with a bar and a space for temporal activities. The exterior is left as is. The biggest addition is the dynamic zone which contains services and circulation. This part gives flexibility to the project. As an example, the bar can be open even if the museum is closed.

The Biopark is a feasibility study for a park exhibiting biological diversity. Through various sculptural installations visitors can come close to insects and the process of decay.

Some of the installations are added to the site while others are built in to existing dead trees already at the site.

I wanted to make an attempt at creating my own skateboard. The boards are made of 7 layers of cross laid Canadian maple. The bottom layer has the graphics cut out by laser. The graphics are made visible through colouring parts of the wood. The development of the mould for the press where also a part of the process. It has a 3 axis guide system ensuring that the premade graphics stays in the right place during the laminating process.

This is a conceptual project for an entrepreneurial centre containing offices, workshops and storage space.

A top lit internal 'street' ties the program together while providing for rich access to natural light. The the street facilitates informal meeting points in the threshold between the private office spaces and the common areas.

The building is deigned to allow for expansion according to future needs.

The project is for a bedside table made from reinforced concrete with white cement and marble aggregat. The dimensions and design were given by a mac computer, where to put a cup of tea and space needed for books in various sizes.

The ambition of this university organised workshop were to investigate the relationship between shape, material and sound.

Our team made a space which had the intention of producing a long lasting reverberation. This inspired the v-shape. The walls were plastered with two layers in order to make the construction heavy enough to allow for the sound waves to reverberate of the wooden veneer.

The photobar-box were made for a company with the same name; Fotobaren. The box has an integrated solution for a DSLR camera, a timer and an iPad.

This is a stage design I designed and built together with Emilia Kluczenko and a group from Intro Oslo. It was made for an event working to prevent and stop human trafficking.
