Mjøstårnet The Tower of Lake Mjøsa / Voll Arkitekter

February 25, 2020 Paula Pintos 0

We have all the responsibility to find new ways of thinking. And not only thinking, but actually doing.

It’s also, the first time in history that the materials and the expertise have been sourced locally. Our client says that standing on top of the viewing platform of Mjøstårnet, you can “actually see” where the timber comes from and where it was processed.

Nowadays, life demands a kind of architecture that is primarily flexible, over one that is strictly functional. Household mutations is what defines the contemporary home, understood as a combination of indeterminate, ever-changing rituals. Every person’s home is the stage on which life unfolds, from the ordinary to the extraordinary; a haven, but also a space for leisure, and―why not―even a workplace.
