Jonas Norsted, born in 1973 in Oslo, is a founding partner of Atelier Oslo. Educated at the Oslo School of Architecture and with professional experience from Norway, France, and Argentina, he brings an international perspective to his work. Over the past decade, Jonas has focused primarily on the transformation of existing structures—exploring how adaptation and reuse can create new continuities between past and present. His projects range from intimate interior refurbishments to large cultural buildings, including the award-winning Deichman Library in Oslo, the House of the Press, and the transformation of the former American Embassy in Oslo. Beyond practice, Jonas contributes to cross-disciplinary dialogues through teaching and lectures. His design philosophy is rooted in curiosity, dialogue, and sensitivity to place, forming the foundation of a thoughtful and enduring architecture.
