Klaskvik, the second largest town in the Faroe Islands, is now home to a landmark row club designed by Danish architecture firm, Henning Larsen.<\/p>\n

Designed to celebrate the Faroese sports heritage, the core of the plan prioritizes pedestrian access and incorporates a children\u2019s skating rink and row club adjacent to the central plaza.<\/p>\n

The 620 m\u00b2 (6,673 sf) structure features an open timber interior that provides space for training sessions and acts as a spot for relaxation.<\/p>\n

Large timber doors front the building and open to the dock, which is equipped with a timber slipway to create a direct access route for the row boats. Exposed timber beams and panels line the space and are complemented by black steel used for the window frames, light fixtures, and structural detailing.<\/p>\n

The structure is topped with a serrated roof that transitions to a sloping green roof towards the building\u2019s rear. Large windows and a loft area offer visitors scenic views of the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur design approach was deeply rooted in the landscape and culture of Klaksvik. The sloping green roof and timber facade pay homage to the surrounding natural beauty, while also nodding to the traditional architecture of the Faroe Islands; a harmonious dialogue between the built environment and the fjord landscape,\u201d says Osbj\u00f8rn Jacobsen, design director, Faroe Islands, Henning Larsen.<\/p>\n

The Klaksvik masterplan is now 40 to 60 percent complete, with plans to further expand and prioritize pedestrian access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
