The first task was to make sense of the site by
removing the snow and some of the small bushes,
as well as probing the ground for bedrock. This
work helped to determine the exact placement of the
building, exploiting and enhancing the existing
terrain features.
Some natural stones were sourced from Røgn farm
and the shores of Vangmjøse to build an access path
and a fireplace.
The building helps to reveal the inherent qualities of
the site: an amphitheatre towards the mountains, a
cliff to climb upon, a dialogue with the slope on the
other side of the creek.
