Ole Sondresen

{lead architect}

World-class architect Ole Sondresen has designed all of the amenities at Dawson Lake in a style that is modern, yet rustic and original. Ole has designed all of our buildings with the inclusion of natural sustainable materials. Each structure is carefully designed to be compatible with the natural environment, environmentally friendly and energy efficient.

{about Ole}

Ole was born and raised in Southern Norway, where he discovered his passion for carpentry and craftsmanship in his father's woodworking shop. Having spent years working in sawmills and construction while studying the fine arts, his design process is greatly influenced by the possibilities of material composition, detailing and assembly.

His interest in creating architecture that speaks of a particular place originated in his study of vernacular Norwegian buildings, as well as extensive travels through Europe, Asia and the United States to explore regional building typologies.

A graduate from the University of Oregon, Ole has held numerous design positions in Oslo and New York City, working on projects ranging in size from furniture to airports.
