Stockholm-based Kolman Boye Architects used oak and Douglas off-cuts from Danish flooring manufacturer Dinesen to create Saltviga House, a recreational home in Grimstad, Norway. Over 12,000 waste oak off-cuts were pre-cut to minimise wastage and pre-treated before being transported to the site.

Sanden+Hodnekvam designs a Brick House with a Tower in Lillehammer, Norway
Norwegian architecture studio Sanden+Hodnekvam has designed a house on a steep hillside overlooking Lake Mjøsa, south of Lillehammer in Norway. In keeping with the area’s tradition of masonry buildings and brickyards, shades of red brick have been used to clad a load-bearing timber structure. Ash joinery is used externally, and ash plywood is used internally, along with an exposed pine roof structure. The main living and sleeping spaces are on the first floor, with children’s accommodation and an apartment on the ground floor. On the top floor, a small tower provides a sitting area with views of the city and the lake. Sanden+Hodnekvam
