Jaeren
Jaeren is a residential apartment interior located on the west coast of Norway. The design draws on local materials, using stone in every room and a large amount of wood. Floor to ceiling windows open the facade and bring the surrounding landscape inside. A grand fireplace stands at the centre of the living area and is visible from every part of it. The kitchen is arranged as a bar with an island, barstools and a curved back wall that mirrors the curved sofa opposite. Sculptural pendant lights act as an art installation.
Jaeren Residential Apartment by Gudbjørg Simonsen has been recognized as a creative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Jaeren Residential Apartment won the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which celebrates outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
