A shelter by the river in Sogndal, built at full scale in brick and timber. It answers to the geography and the hard weather: a fireplace and benches out of the rain, in two parts kept at different climates. Twelve of us developed and built it from Vilda Brekke Sundström's design, as part of the Climate Chamber, a yearly collaboration between the municipality of Sogndal and Bergen School of Architecture. Published in ArchDaily and nominated for Murverksprisen 2023.
