NEW PROJECT – Sandefjord Havn

Sandefjord Harbour, also known as Sandefjord Havn, is a picturesque harbor located in the city of Sandefjord, Norway. Situated on the eastern coast of the Oslofjord, Sandefjord is a historic coastal town known for its rich maritime heritage and stunning natural beauty. The harbor serves as a vital hub for maritime activities in the region, offering various services and facilities for both commercial and recreational vessels. It has played a significant role in Sandefjord's history, which was primarily driven by whaling and shipping industries in the past.

Together with our friends at Vill, we can't wait to start working on a new vision for this ambitious city!

AQ Fjordarium – 3/3

The Fjordarium has been designed in close dialogue with the Norwegian Institute for Water Research to best preserve marine biodiversity, both underwater and along the shoreline. The building is designed to withstand the fjord’s waves and currents and bring natural light into the spaces below water level. Enabling unique exposure to the Oslofjord, it will focus on challenges and solutions for cleaning the fjord, which has been heavily polluted as a result of agricultural waste.
