Jaeren Residential Apartment Redefines Scandinavian Interior with Raw and Natural Elements

Gudbjørg Simonsen's design for the Jaeren Residential Apartment draws inspiration from the raw and mistful light of the west coast of Norway, preserving the client's childhood memories while infusing contemporary elements into the space. Simonsen's design philosophy emphasizes understanding and translating her client's desires into a transformative living space, even without meeting the client in person.

Simonsen's approach to the design includes a strong connection to local materials, such as stone and wood, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The use of floor-to-ceiling windows allows the outside environment to merge with the interior, while the grand fireplace pays homage to the client's family memories, establishing an emotional connection within the living area.

The project, completed in June 2022, showcases the integration of local craftsmanship and natural materials, reflecting the essence of Jaeren. Simonsen's design has been recognized with the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2023, celebrating its practical, innovative, and industry-leading characteristics.
