POETIC has signed a contract with Betonmast to provide architectural design, energy analysis and daylight studies for Nardo Bil’s new facility in Kristiansund.

Hans-Petter Bjørnådal, founder and creative director of POETIC, has been invited to join the international jury for Dialogue with the Nile 2026, organised by Masar Architects in Egypt.

Our proposal for the new Museum of Contemporary Art grows from this elemental condition. The museum is conceived less as an autonomous object and more as an inhabitable atmosphere: a building defined through climatic experience, spatial depth, and the gradual modulation of light, temperature, vegetation, and air.

Creative Talk med Elham om bærekraft, biomimetikk og regenerativ arkitektur

We are very proud to welcome Elham as part of the POETIC team. With Elham, we strengthen the studio with important expertise in sustainability, energy, daylight and biomimetic architecture. This marks the beginning of a clearer sustainability direction within POETIC, where architecture is not only about form, function and materiality, but also about energy, climate, an understanding of nature and living systems. Elham will play a central role in leading and developing this di

Many detached houses contain qualities that remain invisible at first glance. These qualities are embedded in the plan, in the movement of daylight across surfaces, in the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, in the material palette, and in the subtle ways a house adapts to life over time. At Vuggaveien 3 in Kristiansund, POETIC has transformed an existing detached house through a series of restrained yet highly deliberate architectural interventions. Rather tha

Language is secondary to presence. It can point toward reality, describe it, circle it, tune us toward it, but it cannot hold reality itself. Language is a representation, a picture, a trace. It can be beautiful, precise and necessary, but it is not the thing itself. A drawing of a room is not the room. A text about light is not light. A sentence about silence is not silence. Presence begins where representation is no longer enough. In a time where images, language and concep

Denne uken ble Folkeparken skole i Kristiansund markert under BIG SEE Architecture Awards 2026 i Portorož, Slovenia. Prosjektet er tildelt BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026, og inngår dermed i årets internasjonale utvalg av arkitekturprosjekter løftet frem av BIG SEE-plattformen.

At Nils Collett Vogts vei 44 in Voksenåsen, Oslo, POETIC has submitted a planning application for the rehabilitation of an existing detached house and the construction of a new detached house. The project is situated within a sloping residential area where topography, vegetation and views are among the site’s defining qualities. The plot lies below the road, with favourable sun exposure and generous views. Rather than treating the property as a neutral development site, the p

POETIC has been commissioned by Averøy Municipality to realise a multifunctional sculpture outside the town hall on Averøy. We would like to thank Project Manager Ragnhild Berthinussen for her trust, and for the opportunity to contribute to a project that brings together art, architecture, landscape and public use. The sculpture has been developed as an organic, undulating timber form. It can be experienced as a small-scale landscape: a place to sit, climb, meet, play, rest,
