Schak Bull graduated from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich or ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich) in 1879, after which he returned to Bergen, Norway to work as an architect. He was responsible for several important buildings, including Troldhaugen, the residence of his cousin Edvard Grieg,[2] several churches and commercial buildings. He adhered mainly to the architectural style historicism before 1900, and Jugendstil after 1900. From 1914 he formed a partnership with his son Jens Munthe Bull.[2]
In total he was the architect of 186 buildings in Bergen, as well as several in other parts of the country, although many of these have been lost in fires.[2] He died in 1956 in Bergen, at the age of 98 years.[1]
