Askill Voll

Inspired by the western Norwegian landscape, the Stavanger-based architecture firm led by Voll develops several types of buildings, including private homes, cabins, schools and commercial buildings. The home (displayed on this page) – designed many years ago in the ‘90s in Sandnes, Rogaland – is a project he believes defines his work as an architect. “If you look at the façade and the outer form of this building, you see a reference to the western Norwegian landscape. You have the steep hills out towards the sea, with rocks and reefs, and then there are loose surfaces that go back in towards the countryside,” explains Voll.
