So you’ve just won the Pritzker Prize and the world’s your oyster. Those big juicy commissions are going to start coming in even faster, you might not even want/need to enter any competitions anymore since people will be asking for you by name now, and for that whole next year you’ll largely be considered the best in the business. That’s why it was very fun to learn that the first project Sverre Fehn worked on after this 1997 Pritzker win was the outhouse below. It’s on the far end of the parking lot connected to his brilliant Norwegian Glacier Museum. As the museum director told us, “I called him and said ‘Congratulations on winning the Pritzker. We need an outhouse. Can you do it?’”
