The old entrance hall after a rebuilding action became the new stairwell and passage to the extension. This caused an unbalance in this part of the building. It was too obvious there had been two floors, and the space between the windows looked rather overwhelming and depressing. It was a lucky coincidence that the intervening space matched the proportions of the windows. The placing of fake windowframes with the same measurements as the present upper and lower windows creates an impression of harmony.

Cloths of a cheerful character flutter in a guided air current and evoke the idea of open windows on a lazy summer’s day. They have been printed in a technique of my own and each of them is unique.
