About Gateway to Lofoten Trano Fonenana

Ny Gateway to Lofoten dia trano fonenana natao ho an'ny Roest any Lofoten. Ny bika aman'endriny dia nahazoana aingam-panahy avy amin'ireo trano fanjonoana nentin-drazana sy ny tantara lava ela momba ny fanjonoana lieu ary ny famokarana stockfish eo an-toerana. Ny fomba fanorenana eo an-toerana no mitarika ny endriny sy ny fifantenana ny fitaovana ampiasaina, ary nampiana kosa endrika maoderina amin'ny alalan'ny tafo mitongilana mifanandrify eo amin'ny ilany ambany amin'ny trano. Ny rafitra ambany dia maivana ary miankina amin'ny takelaka simenitra iray ihany izay manohana ny rihana ambony. Ny trano dia 38 metatra ny sakany, 7,7 metatra ny halaliny ary telo rihana ny hahavony. Ahitana efitrano studio sy trano fonenana lehibe kokoa ao anatiny.

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.
