Norwegian Wood - The new timber city
By implementing principles from the see house row, "Siriskjær" and
"Promenaden" are tied together, and made recognizable in relation to
the characteristic volume and space situations in the city centre.
The area gives the city recreational spaces at the water front, but also
hiding places when necessary. The new buildings works as an enclosure
of the outside areas, creates variation and merges the different
movements. Hereby "Promenaden" becomes more than a thoroughfare,
but a walk through with variating experiences and qualities - through the
private or exposed spheres. The building block is positioned on the area
to create recreational spaces which adapts to changing situations of
weather, sun, view and line of sight.
