About Gateway to Lofoten Building nga Apartment

Ang Gateway to Lofoten usa ka building nga apartment nga gidisenyo para sa Roest sa Lofoten. Ang porma niini nakadawat inspirasyon gikan sa tradisyonal nga mga balay sa pagpangisda ug sa taas nga kasaysayan sa lokal nga komunidad sa pagpangisda og bakalaw ug produksyon sa stockfish. Ang lokal nga mga kostumbre sa pagtukod naggiya sa hulagway ug pagpili sa mga materyales, samtang ang moderno nga hikap gidugang pinaagi sa mga gable roof nga daw salamin sa usag-usa sa ubos nga bahin sa building. Ang ubos nga estruktura hayan ug gaw-ang, ug nagbitay gikan sa parehas nga concrete slab nga nagsuporta sa taas nga mga andana. Ang building 38 metros ang gilapdon, 7.7 metros ang giladmon, ug tulo ka andana ang gitas-on. Kini adunay mga studio apartment ug mas dagko nga mga apartment.

It is the perfect balance of tradition and modern design.

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.
