Brunstranda service building

The rest stop was designed for the Norwegian Scenic Routes, part of the national transport authorities. Brunstranda in Lofoten is popular among bicycle tourists and surfers because of its pristine white beaches and tall mountain peaks.



The building is made from white, bush hammered concrete, the materials chosen to withstand the harsh local climate. Construction consists of five beams, 14m long and 10 cm tall, resting on two supporting walls –providing a simple and clear silhouette against the rugged landscape. 

The project was done together with VATN. 
Engineers were Finn Erik Nilsen and K. Apeland.

Jerpefaret

A simple single family house in Oslo. To create a distinct profile and functional, yet unexpected interior spaces, each floor has a slightly wider footprint than the one below, and each the ceiling height of each floor is slightly higher than the one below. The ground floor has a rental unit and flexible areas, the first floor has the bedrooms, and the top floor has the kitchen and living areas.


The house sits between old fir trees on a sit overlooking Bogstad. As the timber cladding ages, the colour of the house will blend with its surroundings.

The project was done together with Andreas Tingulstad.

EFC Foundation

Vertical extension to a historic city block in the centre of Warsaw.

The new sixth floor contains headquarters for a national Polish NGO. The 350m2 project is designed as flexible work spaces, with movable walls that double as devises for muffling sound. The interior is designed around central volume clad in veneer, which contains the organization’s historic archives. There is also a kitchen/dining room and bedrooms and bathrooms for visitors.



The project was done with  Yo Murata.

Viewpoint Senja

Competition 1st prize. Design of a viewpoint by Husøy in Senja. Submission done together with Vatn.

Team: Jørgen Tandberg, Espen Vatn, Børre Mølstad, Jonas Løland,  Øivind Haaland.




BMPS fitness studio

The 700m2 fitness centre is a full internal retrofit of a historic building on Kensington High Street in London. BMPS was London’s first studio focused exclusively on TRX and cycling.

The project stretches over three floors, with a series of purpose built rooms and a fully equipped restaurant. The interiors were designed to be as light and open as possible: all new walls are either made from glass, or covered by mirrors. 







 All structural elements  and new structural openings are left exposed. A new technical ceiling with ventilation and services was installed, covered by perforated aluminium panels.




The project was done with the founder of BMPS, Frances Mikuriya.

Sandnes City Hall

Competition for a new city hall in the centre of Sandnes. Submission done together with Vatn and Groma.

Team: Jørgen Tandberg, Espen Vatn, Andrea Pinochet, Jonas Løland.



House in Landøya

The symmetrical house is organized along strict axes and built cost-effectively using lightweight masonry units. It has flexible spaces that can be re-organized for different types of use. Set into a steep hill, it has double height space in the rear, allowing light into a deep plan.

The project was done together with Andreas Tingulstad.

Little Water

Full retrofit of an older building in Covent Garden into a restaurant over three floors serving votka and food.

The project nearly exclusively used reclaimed materials from a variety of sources. It was done together with Anton Gorlenko. 








Reykjavik Mosque

Competition for a new city hall in the centre of Sandnes. Submission done together with Vatn.

Team: Jørgen Tandberg, Espen Vatn, Jonas Løland.  



Bamiyan Cultural Centre

Competition for a new cultural centre in Bamiyan. Submission done together with Vatn and Groma.

Team: Jørgen Tandberg, Espen Vatn, Andrea Pinochet, Jonas Løland.  



Hauklandstranda service building

Invited competition for the national scenic routes in Norway. Restaurant and kayak rental in Lofoten.  The project was designed with a heavy and robust concrete roof structure, resting on loadbearing slab walls. Submission done in collaboration with Vatn.

Team: Jørgen Tandberg, Espen Vatn, Hanna Birkeland Berg, Øyvind Haaland, Jonas Løland. 



Hempcrete bat house in Barnes

The project was the result of an international competition with more than 300 entries, to design a house for homeless bats in the London Wetland Centre, an artificial wetland area created to protect local species. The small house is constructed with hempcrete, covered in lime render.

The four meter tall structure contains more than 200m2 of CNC-milled plywood panels for bats to roost. The interiors are designed to create different temperatures throughout the day and year, to accomodate different bat species.

The project was done together with Yo Murata, and with assistance from the ARUP sustainable materials group.
