Practice Through a rigorous investigation of place, the office's work looks to amplify the existing strengths of a site in a timeless manner. Everything developed is based on the intersection between quality, time, and economy. No matter the scale or area, these three parameters are always seen in relation to one another to create the best architecture. Using biomimetic and natural materials, the firm's main goal is to create unique buildings derived from logical thinking and decision-making. In its first 15 years, the studio participated in some 35 open architectural design competitions, often placing first prize. Competition designs included hotels, shopping centers, museums, colleges, and other civic centers. Among constructed prize works are the firm's 2004 proposal for the Metro Oslo Carl Berner, and the 1998 Customs Administration and Office Building at the Gardermoen National Airport.
