House of Tamanaha is a design/build studio based in Henningsvær. We work on buildings with history, potential, and stories to tell — offering interior architecture, construction, and custom fabrication under one roof.
​
Our approach is hands-on and collaborative, shaped by materials, context, and how people live. Whether restoring a cabin, designing a new layout, or building something from the ground up, we balance beauty and function in every step.
​
We’re rooted in Lofoten, but we work across Norway and internationally — wherever the right project calls.

      FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

      We take on projects of many sizes — from entirely new builds and full-home renovations, to single rooms, custom millwork, or just design support. What matters most is the fit, not the scale.

      What size projects do you do?

      Absolutely. While we often manage projects from start to finish, we also offer design-only, build-only, and consulting services. We're happy to step in where we’re needed.

      Can we hire you for just one part of a project?

      Yes. For projects that require permits, we handle the process — from drawings and documentation to submitting applications. We know how to navigate local requirements and will guide you through what's needed.

      Can you help me with permitting?

      Yes. We often work with clients remotely, especially during the early design and planning phases. With drawings, mood boards, video calls, and clear documentation, we can guide your project from anywhere — whether you're nearby or halfway around the world.

      Do you offer remote design?

      As involved as you'd like to be. We work closely with our clients to shape each project together, but we also know how to take the lead and manage the details if you're hands-off.

      How involved will I be in the process?

      That’s completely fine — most of our clients start there. We’ll help you figure out what’s possible based on your space, needs, goals, and budget. The process starts with a conversation and grows from there.

      What if I don't know what I want to do yet?
