The Prairie House / Hoem + Folstad Arkitekter

The house is located on a wide plain by the coast of the North Sea. An old log house forms the core of a new detached house for a young family with small children.
4"The landscape in Karen carries a quiet density, and the studio is conceived as something that settles lightly into that condition. The ambition was to create a space that holds both introspection and production, where material, light and structure move with a certain restraint. The building draws from archetypal African forms as a way of thinking about permanence, climate and memory. It is a place where making unfolds slowly, in dialogue with its environment." David Adjaye
