BUILD Q4 2019

43 Q4 2019 BUILD Apr19358 Interest. Respect. Curiosity. Snorre Stinessen Architecture is an architecture firm that goes beyond the expected in almost every way. Though it is based in Norway, Stinessen has seen success across the world and frequently undergoes projects in Europe, North America, South America and Australia. Following the firm’s recognition in BUILD’s 2019 Design and Build Awards, we took a closer look at Stinessen’s portfolio of work. roviding a full range of services, such as furniture and interior design, Stinessen Arkitektur has swiftly differ- entiated itself through a certain comprehensiveness that is missing in many of its peers and competitors. But, that barely scratches the surface of the firm’s offerings, which have, time and time again, showcased an uncanny ability towards a sustainable ethos and a consideration towards natu- ral harmony in their designs. Here is where the words interest, respect and curiosity come into play, framing the firm’s approach to their work. Diligence and commitment can be seen throughout Stinessen’s body of work, alongside an experimental flair that never fails to deliver surprising, interesting, and original structures. Think bold central lines, and dramatic edges. Strength in form, without sacrificing an inch of function. Balancing between modern and neo-contemporary styles. It’s all here. From a private family retreat, and an island resort, to an arctic retreat and seafront luxury apartments, Stinessen Arkitektur moulds its characteristic style effortlessly and seamlessly – no small feat. It’s no surprise that the firm has achieved the success that it has and continues to grow. The Nordic elements remain utterly on trend, and whilst that trend may fade in the transient design sector, Stinessen Arkitektur’s work will continue to stand apart and distinct.
