About Jarmund / Vigsnæs AS Architects MNAL
MORE ABOUT JARMUND / VIGSNæS AS ARCHITECTS MNAL
Profile
The practice focuses on projects with potential for outstanding and meaningful architecture, most often closely related to nature and preferably in strong natural settings with harsh climate. The practice explores modern possibilities with sensual and tactile means, seeking the right character for the place and purpose. Clear and understandable strategies attempts to results that are both self-evident and sensational. Larger projects results most commonly from competition-winning schemes, smaller from the reputation of former clients and structures.
Einar Jarmund, Håkon Vigsnæs and Alessandra Kosberg. Jarmund and Vigsnæs were born in 1962 in Oslo and graduated from the Oslo School of Architecture in 1987 and 1989. Håkon spent one year at the Architectural Association (AA) in London and Einar took a Masters degree from University of Washington in Seattle.
