As preparation for a new book in the Project Stories series, we gave a lecture in Bergen on the Forvik ferry port. Project Stories takes an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the stories of built projects to offer an insight into the nature of architectural practice today. Project stories is the outcome of an ongoing lecture series that began in 2019, curated by Cristian Stefanescu, hosted by the Bergen School of Architecture with support from Bergen Arkitektforening.

Seminar discussing the New European Bauhaus initiative:

Beautiful are the places, practices and experiences that are:

Sustainable, in harmony with nature, the environment, and our planet.

Inclusive, encouraging a dialogue across cultures, disciplines, genders and ages.

Three projects on show at gallery SPARK in Malmö.

Large presentation of our work in the Argentinian magazine PLOT.

David Leech: ‘This house is a masterclass in building sustainably. It demonstrates that if architecture is to be inherently sustainable one must not look at environmental concerns with separate solutions but rather as building fabric and material.’

We are pleased to announce that House Hamburgö is shortlisted for the prestigious AR House 21 Award.
