Monocle Fresh Of The Shelf

Bought the new issue of Monocle. Always interesting reading their coverage of news from Norway.

A new colour for each issue. Yellow it is, then.

Röyksopp's from Bergen?

A new housing project by 70°N.

I went to Copenhagen this weekend to see Nordhavnen and visit a friend. We didn't bring a map and wondered around for three hours before I found my plot. Stupid! Nordhavnen was huge and parts of it was not so friendly for walking (bottom picture). I like my plot though. It is close to the water and has a nice view.

Guess what shoe brand! The winner will receive a lollipop as usual.

Kappe Residence

Another gem. Kappe Residence. More on it here.

Courtyard House

Nothing beats a well done courtyard. Shared spaces looking really comfortable too, from looking at the photos. More on the project here.

Holm-Kiehls Residence

As a student Kari inherited a piece of landscape and designed this summer retreat together with husband/architect Jürgen. Nice text and photos here.

Guest Lecture

Bakgård made lecture. Photos from the lecture.

Hello China

Inger Therese, in the middle, is heading to China for ten days. Have a good trip.

Design Jungle

Funny exhibition space across the Deichman/Munch exhibition in Tullinlökka.

Fantastic Sketches Of A Cabanon

Blueprint asked a batch of architects to sketch their own personal retreat in 45 minutes. This was an event celebrating Charles-Edouard Jeanneret. Erlend and Håkon of Fantastic Norway contributed with two Moleskin-spreads. More sketches from other firms here.
