Despite the informal program the small service building on Jektvik ferry terminal the project is very much an experiment. Besides of meeting some very pragmatic functions \u2013 a waiting room and two rest rooms \u2013 the projects is first and foremost about transparency and construction and the architectural consequences of these. Vehicle for this study is built up as follows: a load-bearing, prefabricated, modular aluminium structure has a twisted facade glazing. It is a SG-facade system (\u201cstructural glazing\u201c assembled with the outside inwards. On the outside of the supporting aluminium structure is mounted a lath work of 48×48 pine c\/c approx 250mm. The lath work makes the basis for a seamless outer skin of reinforced polyester. The situation and the building volume are applied to give the project a morearchitecturally relaxed appearance. The \u201cwind queer\u201c form gives a secluded outdoorspace behind the existing kiosk building. This outdoor area is defined also by a refurbished phone box placed by the Norwegian Telecommunications Museum. Kiosk building has been given a general renovation. An extension of the kiosk building to the south are being planned to make room for a snack bar and an enhanced information service.<\/p>\n
