The Design
About Gateway to Lofoten Bangunan Apartemen
Gateway to Lofoten adalah sebuah bangunan apartemen yang dirancang untuk Roest di Lofoten. Bentuknya diilhami oleh rumah-rumah nelayan tradisional serta sejarah panjang penangkapan ikan kod dan produksi ikan kering (stockfish) di wilayah tersebut. Kebiasaan membangun setempat menjadi pedoman dalam menentukan bentuk dan pemilihan material, sementara sentuhan modern dihadirkan melalui atap pelana bercermin pada bagian bawah bangunan. Struktur bagian bawah bersifat ringan dan digantungkan pada pelat beton yang sama dengan yang menopang lantai-lantai di atasnya. Bangunan ini memiliki lebar 38 meter, kedalaman 7,7 meter, dan tinggi tiga lantai. Di dalamnya terdapat apartemen studio serta apartemen berukuran lebih besar.

- 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.
