We bought the first estate in the Arctic archipelago of Fleinvær in 2004, initially digging with spoons and forks before we met Yashar & Andreas from TYIN architects in 2012. They introduced us to their need to invite in mentor Sami Rintala from RintalaEggertson architecture, a perfect match for us. Suddenly, we had the two most published architect offices in Norway on our team. After ideas were thrown forth and back for some time, we began in August 2014, with a workshop for architecture students. After eight workshops with students from all over the world, and two years of building processes led by multi-skilled architects and designers: Andrew Devine & Ruben Stranger, and impresively enough no carpenters, we now have ten small houses in our little village.
