The library function has a huge potential for

positive spatial transformations.

We can challenge the way libraries are used, to give room for new developments towards

a more communicative, interactive space with contents of knowledge,

set in an atmosphere

that inspires the public to use the library as an integrated part of their everyday life.

• vibrant spaces created with

tilted shifting surfaces can create

• dynamic all-purpose spaces

• involving spaces

• versatile spaces

Spatial guiding principles and concepts introduced by futastic structures

• soft spaces

• hard spaces• interior design projects• architectural projects / extentions

key areas of interest and expertise

soft spacesare temporary or long life spatial fabric installation designs.

hard spacesare expressive spatial interior elements build out of solid materials.

interior design projects

are reorganization of an existing interior space with a new function- and plan layout integrating Soft- and Hard Spaces.
