The studio
Astruc Sola is an architecture studio based in Bergen, Norway, working in the intersection between art and architecture. The studio concentrates on making bespoke projects with special attention to material, proportion and spatial qualities. We see each place and each project as unique, and thus in need for a specific regard. In this process we do our best to be mindful and analytical, letting the project reveal itself.
Together with our clients and collaborators, we investigate by making sketches, models, collecting images, objects and other clues in order to figure out what we like and what makes sense in the given project. We work with both digital and analogue tools, and try to find new modes of expression. We have a deep interest in natural elements and atmospheres, and how they can relate to and coexist with the built. We also like challenging our perception of what is ‘rational’, and sometimes leaving elements up to imagination.
In our practice, we are interested in working on a wide varierty of projects and scales, from furniture objects, installations and interiors, to feasibility studies, renovations, house additions, single-family houses, appartment buildings, gardens, and more.
Do you have a project or collaboration in mind, or want to know more about what we do? We’d love to hear from you.
Astruc Sola er en arkitektpraksis i Bergen som opererer i krysningsfeltet mellom arkitektur og kunst. Vi jobber med prosjekter i alle skalaer, fra utforming av møbler og objekter, til interiør og ombygging/renovering, eneboliger og større boligprosjekter. Vi er også interessert i andre prosjekter som utstillingsdesign, og hageutforming.
Vi ser ethvert sted og ethvert prosjekt som unikt, med behov for et spesifikt blikk. I denne prosessen gjør vi vårt ytterste for å møte enhver oppgave med tilstedeværelse og undersøkende vilje, og har tro på å la prosjektet bli til underveis. Vi ser alltid etter potensialet for å frembringe arkitektoniske ideer og utrykk, og for å skape gode og interessante rom og steder.
Har du et prosjekt du vil diskutere, eller ønsker du mer informasjon om hva vi kan hjelpe deg med? Ta gjerne kontakt på telefon eller epost.
