Fantastic Norway is an architectural studio founded in 2004 by Håkon Matre Aasarød and Erlend Blakstad Haffner. Between 2003-2007, they travelled around in Norway in a red caravan, anchoring themselves in towns where change were needed.
The initial ambition was to create an open, including and socially aware architectural practice and to re-establish the architect as an active participant and a constructor of society.
The studio is engaged with architecture and installations as well as mobilization processes, development strategies and lecturing. Clients span from local communities to private investors and public institutions.
They primarily work in the field of culture, tourism and commercial building. In addition to traditional commissions they initiate projects themselves and organize the financial and political anchoring of them.
Fantastic Norway belive places are stitched together by the stories and lives of people living there. Every client is different; every place is in some way peculiar. They aim to embrace this fact and through dialogue transform it into architecture.
Fantastic Norway was proclaimed "Architects of the Year" at the Oscar Hansen Symposium in Bergen/Norway in 2005 and received the "FAD medal of honor" for "best international practice" in Barcelona/Spain in 2007. The office was exhibiting at the international pavilion in Venice at the 2008 architectural biennale. The headquarters is situated in Oslo/Norway.
