House in Valderøya / Svingen Arkitektkontor

We were approached by a client about modernizing their inherited 1973 house on Valderøy, Norway. While the house lacked historical significance, we advised against demolition, emphasizing the importance of utilizing existing structures for climate goals. Rehabilitation also preserves local history and building practices and is often more economical.
