Poolhuset
A Norwegian summer is short, so a pool house has to be more than one thing. Poolhuset is a retreat, a teenagers’ den and somewhere to sit after long dinners, and it answers all three with one structural decision: two beams running the length of the building, carrying cantilevered roof joists at a steady rhythm.

The programme falls into place along that rhythm. At one end the joists open into a pergola for meals outside; over the middle they roof the pool house and hold the weather off its facade; at the far end they finish as an outdoor shower under cover, facing the lake. The whole building is one decision, carried through.
