The story begins at Jaeren, a small area on the west coast of Norway known for its beautiful beaches. The client had bought his grandparent's apartment. Living elsewhere, he wanted to stay in his childhood favorite spot when visiting friends and family. Simonsen never actually met her client, but since the essence of her design philosophy is to understand and design her client's desires; how could she succeed in transforming the apartment to a contemporary version whilst preserving loving memories from his childhood? Simonsen turned to the nature at Jaeren.
