Bought an old house in Norway? Here’s something worth knowing before you renovate. 🏚️

If your house is from before 1900, it’s likely part of a national register called SEFRAK. This means the exterior usually needs to stay true to its original character: window sizes, materials, colors. 🫡

And actually, if there are old drawings showing an earlier version of the house, you can sometimes restore it to that. But otherwise, changes should be minimal (not like in the second video).

The idea is to preserve the feeling of the place — its history, as part of Norway’s cultural heritage.🥰

Inside, you typically have the freedom to change layout and rooms.👌

Green, Gold, Rust or Wood?🎨

I’ve been experimenting with colors for my clients who want a bit of color in their house, and honestly, it’s been really inspiring to step outside the usual neutral palette.

Same house, four completely different moods. The rust tone brings warmth and a raw, industrial edge. Gold feels bold and sunny against the Norwegian landscape. Green settles quietly into the terrain. And the natural wood keeps things timeless.

Which one would you choose? Drop your pick in the comments 👇

Vi har jobbet med dette renoveringsprosjektet som nylig har fått rammetillatelse. 🥳
Prosjektet innebærer et påbygg over carporten, med utvidelse av stuen, nytt kjøkken og en slags semi-vinterhage. Vi er nå i gang med å finne byggmester.🤓

Stillhet, form og natur.

Total renovation project, this is the first stage of the process.

The house is in great structural condition, but we’ll be replacing all materials, windows, and doors, and adjusting the layout to meet new needs.

We’ve added three vertical elements to give more height and rhythm to a volume that previously felt overly long.

In this proposal, the client preferred a darker cladding and larger windows facing the view.

Using a lighter material on the garage volume helps visually shorten the overall length of the house.

The proportions and placement of the new windows are carefully designed to break the repetition of the old façade and to balance the weight between the two sides.

The kitchen, located in the center, now has a lifted roof to create a more generous interior height , it becomes the dominant feature of the composition, balanced by a greenhouse on the south side.

On the entrance side, we’ve raised the roof to make the entry a strong visual element, while a wall provides privacy from the road, which is often busy with tourists.

Things will evolve as the project moves forward, but this is the current stage, and we’re excited to continue developing it soon.
