The new library in Grimstand has a central, waterfront location. It lies between the old town and the new town center. The intention is for the library to not only be a place to read and borrow books, but for the building to become a social meeting point with the opportunity to host a variety of cultural events. The building is accessible for all.

The Vardåsen house was built into a well-developed residential area on Varåden, Grimstad overlooking the city and fjords towards south from the 1.st floor, and with a compact garden and natural forest towards west. Because of the small site, it was essential to stich the house in between existing trees and as close to the road on the west side and towards north as possible. The house is prepared for ground floor wheelchair use, so it was important to cultivate short distance, local qualities, views and natural light for this floor. The organization of the daily living rooms connects to a fluid outdoor space, imposing that the site is much bigger than it really is. The views stretches over a grass field all the way up to the beautiful ridge and deciduous forest some distance away – psychologically making it into a private space.
