and a lot of imagination,
and you could end up with this, Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, inspired by the harbor’s architecture built this brick building several yards into the water from the shore,
with the surrounding body of water acting as its moat,
the complexly curved form contains four intersecting cylinders which are carved to present a pattern of concave and convex walls, and is dotted with several arched windows and openings to the sea, “The outer walls, which are normally seen as a membrane between inside and outside, are spaces in Fjordenhus,” explains the studio,
“You are offered the opportunity to be both inside and outside.”
the structure will hold the offices for
investment company KIRK
KAPITAL,
yet will contain a ground floor open to the public with site-specific art installations designed by Eliasson, Fjordenhus took nearly a decade of planning to implement and build, and is considered both an architectural structure and a work of art,
built on the Vejle Fjord in
Denmark, Fjordenhus is only accessible by footbridge, You can see more about projects designed by Eliasson’s studio on their website, I have to say at first glance I did not like the building, but the more I look at it, the building is starting, for me, to look more appealing.
