Ah! The complexity of communication.
The density of making the itinerary for this pilgrimage has just exploded in my face. I had I thought made an arrangement with the current owner, an architect, to visit the house at 18.00. on Thursday. It transpired that I made an arrangement to visit on TUESDAY at 18.00 (when I was in Bamble).
Not knowing my mistake, I waited outside and the lady of the house arrived and we discussed the dilemma. The Architect was in the air bound North but she kindly invited me in for a quick peek which I humbly accepted. I stayed only minutes, long enough to gain a sense of the intensity of this small house in suburbia, and the manner by which it defends the acts of dwelling to the street, and opens to the landscape on the private side.
It reminded me (in terms of spatial organisation) of PAD Studio's 'Thrifty Beeches' project. I hope PAD will accept the comparison!
I left apologising profusely for my lack of organisation, and the unexpected albeit brief invasion. I hope to visit again upon a future return to Oslo.
