Sarpsborg is a first experience of Norway for visitors passing through from Sweden, which is important to the client as visitors may slow down and take time to take in the natural surroundings. The local forests and coastline form a tourist attraction in Norway, but much of it remains unknown. The speed and noise of the nearby highway make travelers want to take a break and rejoin the embrace of nature, so the primary element of the design is a green rest space. A spiral ramp flanked by low walls surrounds the seating area, demarcating the 2,000-square-meter site, while spring-flowering fruit trees punctuate the courtyard. Saunders worked with graphic designer Camilla Holcroft to design seven pavilions in the courtyard, displaying information for an exhibition titled The Bronze Age, based on local rock carvings and continuing onto the ramp's perimeter wall.

The structures also provide space for temporary art exhibitions. Public *** Architectural Design: Sarpsborg, Norway

The unobstructed views meant that the beauty of the surrounding nature could only be appreciated from a certain height, so designing a tower quickly became a priority in the project. The sloped asymmetrical wall rises 4 meters from the ground, creating a simple nine-storey structure on the north side of the site, 30 meters high, with a single staircase and lift. The tower is named "Solberg", which means "Sun Mountain". From the tower, you can overlook the nearby coastline and the Oslo Fjord. The scenery is picturesque and unforgettable.

Finally, the style and aesthetic orientation of this design were developed based on the original architectural style of the environment, and an extremely simple contemporary geometric shape was chosen, which is more in line with the local farm. Traditional architectural forms provide contrast. Key materials include weathering steel, which ages beautifully for the exterior walls, and hardwoods painted with warm pigments for garden design projects and information panels. Local slates and fine gravel were used for the floors.

Saunders created a comprehensive structure that highlights the area's natural and historical charm with strong architectural forms, responding directly to the requirements of the two-dimensional client and the site conditions . The Sarpsberg project was completed in the summer of 2010 with the cooperation of several city governments, local government departments and the state highway department.
