STUDIO LON AS is an architectural practice based in Oslo. The studio is engaged in projects around Norway working with coastal, urban and rural sites. To define program organization, structure and space for a project, we focus on site-specific qualities and local tradition combined with clear geometries and articulated architectural elements.
