Maritime industry gathered in an innovative timber building
In a new building of over 8,000 m², Løvold Solution aims to bring together actors in the maritime industry. Løvold Havpark helps foster green growth in the blue economy.
The new building connects two older industrial halls, and the link between innovation and production is intended to foster new collaborations between companies within the same sector. Both established industry leaders and younger start-ups are organized around a naturally lit atrium called Havrommet. An elegant timber staircase winds up through the atrium, while informal meeting spaces are arranged around it. On the ground floor, an open cafeteria serves as the hub of the new Havpark.
The load-bearing system of glulam and solid timber is also noteworthy. In Havpark, the building’s construction can be ‘read,’ almost like a structure made of wooden blocks. Exposed timber ribbed decks provide space for technical installations in the open deck structures. The result is abundant exposed timber throughout the building, which has been shown to positively influence both the indoor environment and overall well-being.
SAAHA and LALA Tøyen are collaborating on the development of the six-story competence center. Detailed design and construction are carried out in close coordination with Hent.
Løvold Havpark is designed to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, making it the first building in the region to do so.
