The competition by Norsk Form and 100% Risor called for an open interdisciplinary competition to create the first design hotel in Norway and the scope of the competition was the redesign the rooms of Risor Hotel in Risor, one of Europes best kept wooden house towns. The floor is inspired by forms of the Risor peninsula, where jetties have formed huge pot-holes for swimming in, and waves have polished the rock silk smooth for sunbathing. The floor, bed and bath form one continuous bathing-sleeping landscape – a private spa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1491846481029-IN5XW36E0Z4EGWPYP69E/BlueWaves_film_KimBaumannLarsen_HD_screenshot_virtual01.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1492021829019-DKYYQFOX50P9FSCQZEJV/TV2SportArena_11_shot14_KimBaumannLarsen_1200px.jpg Projects - TV 2 Sport Arena https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1491759728042-EW99PF7316VNYNSAP3Q6/IKKFVRScreenshot2_HD.jpg Projects - Wu-Shu experiments in virtual reality I Know Kung Fu VR was created as a technology demo for HoloCap (www.holocap.com), a system for scanning and presenting humans in Virtual Reality in real-time using a low cost depth camera.

An AR marker was printed on the back of more than 50 million milk cartons. The app was part of a four month campaign to raise awareness of locally produced and distributed milk and was built on an existing marketing concept of cows talking like humans when unobserved. The AR app placed two small animated cows on the user’s table playing out an amusing mise en scène with the cows speaking in a different Norwegian dialect, depending on which region the milk was from. The story ends when the cows are surprised to ‘discover’ the user and then clumsily return to ‘playing’ cow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1540986193423-AWVHTMGBZH1TFA091HTN/elevateD_sphereB_m_31_cam11_60mm_exterior_approach.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1541079435266-XFO1IG9M1JEKD5WGYUBH/HoloCapStudioV2_thumbnail_sq.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1582391852157-ZPM4YB8CTZ9R6XP4OMBA/181124_Ruter_K2012_Metro_OlafRyesPlass_2k_110518_ill.jpg Projects - Ruter K2012 Metro - Grünerløkka Architectural design and visualisation for a proposed new metro line in Oslo with stops among other places at Grünerløkka (Olaf Ryes plass). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1573382429264-5SDPF6Y6P445II125NR4/VirtuaView_06_hero_image_with_pavilion_water_and_tree16x9HD.png Projects - A virtual workplace For Norwegian company Dimension10, now part of the leading Finnish VR company Varjo, I was asked to design a new architectural workspace for their state-of-the-art collaboration and visualisation VR software for the AEC industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1664092948512-WJULFC2Q9GWMILP7VK31/210407_GriniVR_screenshot_10.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e67a879de4bbb333c8c197/1664093454982-AMYW1TKRJ9IPUZM7NRU7/TheMOON_app_IMG_0040.PNG Projects - A touch based social online 3D retail shopping experience TheMoon was a prototype developed to create a novel online 3D shopping center experience by a startup of the same name.
