Grunnfør bicycle shelte | 70°N arkitektur

The bike shelter is situated at Grunnfør on Austvågøy in northern Lofoten with an open northwards view towards Vesterålen and a grand southwards view to the mountains in the south. Here the visitor can seek shelter from the wind, which can be extremely cruel, and also have a magnificent experience of the nature. Bikes might be parked on the entrance level, where one also can prepare food in a simple but nicely protected space. On the upper level, the breath taking nature can be encountered in a 360° panorama. It is built with a load-bearing framework construction of steel, combined with wooden bolts. The wood clad steel construction elements create intimate shielded spaces within the view space. The chosen construction also permits an all glass façade with a 360° view. The lower level has a concrete floor and the upper level has a wooden floor (OSB). The interior is made of plywood and the façades have a wooden cladding.
