STUDIO WIDEROEis an architectural practice working with buildings, furniture, and objects made from stone and wood.

The studio’s work centers on the reuse of surplus and discarded larvikite, a native stone from southern Norway quarried in vast amounts, much of which remains unused despite its strength and beauty.

The practice seeks to revive a traditional understanding of construction through the combination of stone and wood, one that values permanence, beauty, and resource awareness. This approach reduces waste, supports local craftsmanship, shortens supply chains, and significantly lowers carbon emissions, fostering a more grounded and enduring architecture.

One of our main concepts is the contemporary stone point foundation. Developed in collaboration with SINTEF, NGU, NTNU, Lundhs, and Larvikittblokka, we have tested several prototypes exploring how an ancient material can once again form the base of modern structures.

STUDIO WIDEROE continues to explore how local resources and simplicity can shape resilient and meaningful ways of building, at the juncture of tradition and innovation.
