A Knowledge Centre made for sustainable technologies, artists and designers. The concept is a reminder of our actions and to make it more interesting to engage the public to co-operate with each other was foremost in my mind. 
I started to research the inspiration of how global warming has had an impact on our environment. The history of the site and the fact that the suburb was pre-Norman in the 1700th century also played a part. I wanted to link their way of using natural elements, craftsmanship and uses of materials such as wood to create complex constructions.

CONCEPT: Merge And Melting
My definition: The change to co-operate to reach a higher result. The concept is inspired by the client’s logo which reminds of a snowflake and the global warming. How our daily choices have an impact on the environment around us.
The idea was to design a reminder of our history and how we in ancient times used the existing surroundings to create a shelter for our needs.
I define melting as the change of a shape before it is transformed to another substance. Merge on the other hand, is the combining of shapes (or humans) into a new relationship and co-operation between two or several parts. The fact that co-operation between different links creates higher quality and better chances to achieve a goal is key.

Development of Concept and DesignWith basic knowledge and information, I was able to start designing and develop my concept. I knew what I wanted to reach in the end - to create a reaction as well as curiosity and inspire the visitors.
A Knowledge Centre made for sustainable technologies, artists and designers. To create a reminder of our actions and to make it more interesting to engage the public to co-operate with each other was foremost in my mind.
I started to research the inspiration of how global warming has had an impact on our environment, especially in relation to melting ice. I created my ideas through sketching, more conceptually at first. I found it easier to work with sketches in the beginning and then convert them into handmade 3D models. Experiments were also included in this stage. Exemplified by ice cubes, how they change shape during melting and how they later on merge together when put them back in the freezer. The soft shapes from the sketches combined with the idea to merge two rectangular “tissue” boxes together and change their shape and melt them through the floor slabs within the building.

RHYTHM OF THE LANDSCAPE
Project Brief:
Design the old Dunnes building into a modern Multi-disciplinary office. This design creates a modern office environment for the future. It increase co-operation between the offices and a healthier working environment.
Size: 8.500 sqm
Location: George Street, Dublin 2
Concept: ”The language of nature - translated into function”."The idea is to use the language of nature translated into function, an interaction of environmental shapes in layers. The use of natural materials creates a spiritural and personal well-being."

Selected Floor plans:

This design includes the site around its location. It is exemplified by the view over Dublin Castle and the park on the north side. The designer brought the same vegetation from the park into the building. The idea is to create a view over an internal green area from all offices and social meeting areas. The special designed ceiling is inspired by contours.
The construction of this sculptural ceiling is based on a natural material, timber. It was not only a sculpture within the building it also had the function to absorb sound and the smell of timber reminds the occupants of nature. The floating shape of the ceiling connect different multi-disciplinary office spaces together and inspire people to co-operate.

I was asked to design a few sketches and technical
solutions for Norema Kjøkken katalog 2015/2016.
- "The design is based on real clients and their specific needs and requirements."
SKETCH
The client wanted a flexible and functional design with less cupboards without any extra storage higher
than the existing window. I designed a lower storage with 320mm depth and a table wich is removable -
to easy access the cabinets. Below you can see the handmade illustration i made during an requirement
analysis with my client in Lillestrøm. A simple render made in CET-Design was sent to a proffesional 3D
render.
My role: Concept stage, sketch and simple 3D illustration, CET-design.
