The museum is located on the east of Norway, hundreds of kilometers from the Swedish border, which is aiming for memorizing an ethnical group of Finn people, Skogfinnsk, literally forestry Finn. The main part of ethnic museum was located on the south of the site nowadays, as the milestone of awakenings of ethnicity, today is seeking for the extension of the museum.

The new extension contains mostly the permanent and

temporary exhibition space for light objects and artistic work. Café and library are also on the list for serving both the existing part and new part. The main idea of the project is trying to not intervene too much on the landform which elaborates with the small stream on the east of site and the forestry surrounding. The solution is basically to hide the entire exhibition space underground, by combining with the terrain, and keep the independent service such as café and library on the ground floor.

It could keep operating on weekends for local people while the museum is closed.

Due to the special condition of the basement building, the ventilation system takes a large amount of space to attach the fresh air and pump into minus two levels. The detailed drawing consists of some crucial points that shows how the technique was integrated with the architectonic issue.
