The studio, sivilarchitect espen surnevik as, was founded in Oslo in 2011. Studio-projects are developed by Espen Surnevik in collaboration with his students. Surnevik focuses on innovating and continuing the Norwegian regional Architecture-tradition. Central elements are to develop projects which have intuitive and specific link to the place, its traditions and its landscape. The studio develops projects where construction and space has a unity in which program and functions finds it exact place. The projects are often planed in a historic context which is seen as a opportunity to tell a story of our time and the past. We regard architecture to be an expression which tell us how society have been thinking during history. The projects have a detail-focus for all production, including landscape and interior. The goal is that all projects should express a Whole, where the overviewing conceptual idea is represented in the small details and vice versa.
