Wenche Elisabeth Selmer (23 May 1920 – 30 May 1998)[1] was a Norwegian architect who specialized in timber architecture, working residential projects in Southern Norway.[2]

Life

Selmer studied under Knut Knutsen.[3] She taught at the Oslo School of Architecture, from 1976 to 1987.[4]

Her wooden houses were inspired by nature, careful to not overwhelm or dominate the natural landscape, but rather blend with it.[5][6]
