The Design
About Gateway to Lofoten Woonstelgebou
Poort na Lofoten is 'n woonstelgebou wat ontwerp is vir Roest in Lofoten. Die vorm is geïnspireer deur tradisionele vishuise en deur die lang plaaslike geskiedenis van kabeljouvissery en stokvisproduksie. Plaaslike bougebruike lei die vorm en materiaalkeuse, terwyl 'n moderne draai bygevoeg word deur gespieëlde saalkapdakke op die onderste deel van die gebou. Die onderste struktuur is lig en hang vanaf dieselfde betonplaat wat die boonste vlakke ondersteun. Die gebou is 38 meter wyd, 7.7 meter diep en drie verdiepings hoog. Dit bevat studio-woonstelle en groter woonstelle.

- Unique Properties
- The design of the appartements located in Roest, Lofoten, stand out in its design. The local and also traditional building customs are being found in its form and use of materials, but there is also a futuristic and different twist to the design. It is the perfect balance of tradition and modern design.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 38 meters wide and 7,7 meters deep. The building is 3 stories high, and will have some studio apartments, but also bigger apartments.

- Production Technology
- The methodology for creating this design was mainly instinctiv. Usually all of Manuelas work is. The idea of the mirroring was a result of working on the formas, and the wish for a simple design, yet surprising and new-thinking.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge with this design at this moment, is to calculate the existing groundwork. We should use and keep the existing situation at its very best, but might need to support it additionally.
- Research
- We did some research on the existing buildings in Roest, the materials and colors of the architecture. The houses are build with a wooden frame, and thereafter cladded with wooden cladding, either vertical or horisontal. The building should not be too complicated, and the lower construction, or mirrored roof in the bottom, is a lighter construction, hanging in the same concrete slab that supports the upper levels.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration behind this project, is to tell a story through form and color. It is inspired by old fishing houses and Roests long history with cod fishing and stockfish. The weather conditions at Roest have for a long time been optimal for stockfish production, and they export most of it to Italy, having a long and strong history with the country. The design is however mostly inspired by the fishing houses. The mirroring of the gabled roofs is a simply, though powerful twist to the form.
- Project Duration
- The project is unbuilt, it will hopefully be finished within a few years.
- Operation Flow
- The usage og the apartments will be as any other building, but the experience should reach a new level. It should of course feel as if you are floating on the sea, but still be on shore.
