Here is a Planetveien 12 gallery even you miss here the presence of life, for a different sequence look here.
Grete died the 25th of September 2010 at the age of 93: always working with the same energy and lively creativity! I met her the first time in 1994 and I was shocked by her beauty and cleverness: I was with Christian Norberg-Schulz who introduced me to one of the most outstanding woman I have ever met. From that visit, I have always tried to pass by her in the house she was leaving since the 1955: Planetveien 12! The house was designed by her husband Arne Korsmo (a master of Norwegian second generation of Modern architects) between 1952 and 1955, just before he left for Trondheim, for him and her wife Grete. She spent all her life there, respecting the initial utopia of the house programme: a place for life & work. This has been Planetveien 12 until she left for ever!
