Xform Arkitekter

The compact but multifaceted company recently finished a multi-functional building in Førde’s town centre, which was intended to be part of the town’s new development and image. Situated in a quarter known for its new concept of glaciers and mountains, where urban life meets natural surroundings, Ullsentralen is a 4,500-square-metre building catering for business and residential needs. “We own 25 per cent of the stocks and developed the project, which is pretty unusual considering we also drew it,” explains CEO Svein Torsnes. “With architecture playing the main part, we’ve been able to provide a quality we normally wouldn’t achieve if we were working for someone else.”
