Inspiration from the fishing and canning industries
The building's volume is divided into two main elements, with two volumes having distinct characters and being separated in function. First, a two-story high base volume of concrete with a roof cover of river stone containing the public areas such as the foyer, restaurant, and conference center.
Above the base, it is facilitated for 410 hotel rooms, a lamella volume with a tilted roof that extends from its highest northern point of seven stories to its lowest point of five stories towards the south.
The lamella volume is designed with reflective metal facades of natural anodized aluminum. The façade design is inspired by Stavanger’s role as a former center for the fishing and canning industries.
