Bringing my morning coffee to the house today, I was completely caught off guard. The electricians and plumbers just finished, but the carpenters have worked at lightning speed—the white-waxed glulam pine panels are already almost fully installed on the walls!
It is so breathtakingly beautiful that it actually brought tears to my eye (I only have one).
The vertical lines of the wood play so beautifully with the surrounding forest, the exterior heartwood pine cladding, and the sweeping view of the fjord and mountains. Everything feels connected. HOME❤️

When designing 100m2 home, every single square meter has to earn its keep. Since it’s just the two of us living here day-to-day, our focus has been on clever, flexible solutions rather than adding extra rooms that stand empty most of the time.
The house is packed with hidden features and functional surprises:
The TV Lounge & Guest Room: With a single sliding wall, our cozy TV lounge transforms into a private guest room. The sofa turns into a bed, while the home office and wardrobe are neatly tucked away behind the sliding panels for a clean look.
The Music Room: Features a built-in Murphy bed that folds seamlessly into the wall when not in use.
Grandchildren's Nooks: Our four grandkids have their own built-in sleeping alcoves, creating cozy, cabin-like spaces just for them.
This is a house built to be used—crafted from solid, durable materials, where spaces adapt to our life, not the other way around.

With a house of about 100 m², we’ve designed our home to breathe with the landscape.
Why stay inside when the world outside is so inviting?
We’ve integrated six different exits that lead to unique "outdoor rooms," each with its own purpose and mood:
The Flower Meadow: Right off the kitchen, featuring a "book bench" for soaking up the afternoon sun with a good read.
The Celebration Square: Accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom—perfect for late summer nights around the fire pit.
The Forest Peace: Stepping out from the guest room into the quiet woods, where we’re planning an outdoor cinema under the stars
The Winter Garden & Pergola: Our main entrance and large sliding doors open up to a south-facing sanctuary that bridges the gap between seasons.
In Norway, we have a saying: "Why sit inside when all hope is out?" (A little pun intended!). For us, it’s about making nature an extension of our living space.

Visiting my childhood home town #Levanger this weekend. It is a small city with a combination of old wooden houses and majestic concrete and stone buildings and is situated in the innermost parts of the Trondheimsfjord. It is a calm, clear an cold day. The building in the photo is where I went to primary school. It now houses a photo museum and the community music school, among other things. Historically Levanger is an old trade city, and now more of an education centre with a college and a university. #silentsunday

このページには、レヴァンゲル自治体で発生した大規模な地滑りにより、トロンハイムとスタインキェルを結ぶノールラン線が完全に不通となり、移動に大きな支障が出ていると書かれています。
金曜日の午後6時頃に発生したこの地滑りにより、大量の泥と瓦礫が線路を覆っています。当初の見積もりでは、線路の撤去と被害状況の確認には少なくとも1日かかるとされています。
現在、運行はバスによる代行となっており、一部のE6高速道路が閉鎖されているため、迂回ルートを走行しています。この迂回ルートは、通常よりも約3時間余計にかかるとのことです。
鉄道当局は、復旧の正確な時期を予測するのは難しいとしながらも、できるだけ早く運行を再開したいと述べています。また、地滑りは大雨と地盤の不安定さが組み合わさって引き起こされた可能性が高いと報じられています。

Vi tok farvel med pappa i #Levanger kirke i går. Det ble en god dag med slekt og kjente, hvor vi mintes pappa med gode historier, latter og gråt.

Er på #Levanger i dag. Byen har ei fin verneverdig trehusbebyggelse. Dette er ikke det flotteste, men er den siste autentiske arbeiderboligen i byen. Emilies hus. Det er åpent for publikum. #trehus
