Byggstudio is developing the outdoor environment around the art centre Harpefoss Hotell in Gudbrandsdalen, drawing on traditional local techniques such as stone walling and wood carving, combined with new design elements inspired by the surrounding landscape—the historic house, the rocks, the rapids and the forest.

As part of shaping the park and experimenting with materials for wayfinding, we arranged an open three-day dry stone walling workshop together with Chris Millar and Eivind Slettemås. Using local sandstone and slate, participants explored how these materials could become part of the landscape design. The work will continue in spring 2020, once the ice has melted.

Stone walling in collaboration with Chris Millar. Commissioned in 2019.
