And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm not a fan of Danish Modern design. My first impression is that the fire place is totally inadequate to heat all that space efficiently. The ceiling is too high, all the heat will rise up there leaving your floor still cold. Too much window footage. Even with the best double pane, you will still get cold transmitted through into the interior. If not through the glass directly, then through the metal framework.
I've been to Norway (Trondheim and Andoya Island). Beautiful country and people. If you want to learn how to build for the cold, just visit any fishing village on the North Sea. Small, tight, well insulated houses with extremely efficient heating.
Norway is a delightful place.
