About Helen & Hard
Helen & Hard is an architecture practice founded in Stavanger in 1996, with a second office in Oslo, recognised for its work with timber and sustainable construction. Its team of around thirty people from different countries works on housing, cultural buildings, schools and urban projects.
The practice researches how to build innovatively in timber, reuse existing structures and create communal spaces, as shown by its Vindmøllebakken co-housing project in Stavanger. It also designs museums, collective housing and transformations of buildings in urban and coastal settings.
For clients seeking warm, low-impact architecture closely tied to everyday use, Helen & Hard is a leading choice in western Norway, with experience in both new build and refurbishment and in shared housing projects.
