The podcast series CHAPTER TALKS invited Sigurd Larsen to speak about the office and the indeas behind our projects.

The Flower House is our new hand made glass vase.

While the glass seems to delicately balance on a narrow line from one angle, it stands like a solid rectangle from another. The pitched shape make the vase appear like a house turned upside down.

Amber, green, and transparent colors are chosen to refer to the 19^th century architecture of bricks and glazed tiles that defines the narrow Berlin courtyards where the vases are produced.

Each vase is stamped with a serial number, indicating the generation of mold that was used in the production. Each mold can be used for a limited edition of 50 unique vases.

This week we received the building permission for a hotel on the island Crete including a house for the family who will run the hotel. The buildings are located in the mountains south of Rethymno. The hotel follows the terraced landscape of olive trees and big solid rocks. From all rooms you have a great view over the garden and valley.

Location: Spili, Crete, Greece.

Completion: 2023.

More information coming soon.

This month we received the building permission for a house near Næstved in Denmark. The idea behind the house is to reuse the walls of an existing basement as a natural pool and build the new house around it. The house consists of two levels; one in stone that is built into the hillside, and one in wood that sits on top of the hill so the full panoramic view of the surrounding landscape can be experienced.

The construction is expected to start in Autumn 2021.

Location: Næstved, Denmark.

Completion: 2023.

More information coming soon.

The facade and interior walls on Villa Piperi have been completed and are treated with several layers of white chalk that can accumulate the changing humidity in the local climate.
