VIEW BOX

In order to create spaces around, in contact with

and under, “the view box” was designed as a sensual

experience, feeling the light and the nature from

inside a closed space. It is intended to differentiate

between being out in the open, feeling the direct

impact from the surroundings, and to be completely

sheltered, yet sensing perhaps the nature in a

greater way. A thoroughly play with the imagination

is required.

A step from the rock into a closed space, facing a

painting: small holes in the wall, spread from the

floors to the roof, casting beams of light across

the room. Intensified after entering and closing

the door behind. Through the holes, the nature is

shimmering between an open world outside and

a sheltered world inside. A feel to open up and

see more. Two large doors can be pulled, and the

mountain Hugakollen is inside the room. A view

towards the other side of the valley is filling the

space.
