ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my colleagues and friends: Paula Maria Lloveras, Vidar Knutsen, Daniel Evensen, Kerstin Höger, Martin Forsby, Mats Heggernæs and Håkon Vetlesen for sharing their invaluable viewpoints and feedback on my house designs presented in this book.
My most sincere gratitude goes to the five essay writers for their unique contributions: Mads Øiern, Nathan Romero Muelas, Siri Moseng, Héctor Fernández Elorza and Christoffer Harlang.
My warmest thanks to NTNU, Trondheim and especially to the Head of Department Arild Gustavsen at the Department of Archtecture and Technology (IAT) for making this book possible.
I also wish to thank my student assistant, Brage Bjerck Årøen, for his committed work.
A special thanks goes to Øystein Arbo – he is simply the best designer I have ever met, and to Beate Røttingen for her valuable advice throughout the design of this book.
Last but by no means least, l wish to express my admiration and warmest thanks to the book project administrator Ole Tolstad at NTNU. No book without this man!

PARALLEL WALLS
‘l used to bring my coffee and a good book to one of the balconies between the two walls in front. I always chose the one where l had to pass the library upstairs. That was a detour, but the walk was worthwhile. I loved the overview of the house from up there, with the constantly changing views and sightlines as you moved along and through the walls. Especially passing through the two last walls before settling in my comfortable chair. What a view from up there!
The architect was right when he told us that this house, with its parallel walls and different openings, would filter the daylight in a lovely, always changing way. Still, it had enough shade at the back. It was like a wild drama in front, and a quiet cave inside.
Here is a technical matter: the architect told us the two front walls needed deep pole foundations for stabilisation, and some slim steel connectors between them above head height.’ (These are not included in the drawings)
