A concept for rehabilitating Vannvokterboligen, Riflegata 13 in Oslo, into a café and gallery while preserving its historical character.

The building is split into two functions: Flow Cafe, an open, light space with natural materials and reused furniture, and Art Haven, a flexible gallery and workshop space for exhibitions and creative work. Reuse and sustainable choices run through both parts.
