Competition for a bird watching tower in Værengene, with its unique nature. The design is influenced by the expansive flat wetland geography with its long horizon and grey sky. A place of the same atmospheric character which grows up from the horizons encounter with the soft and diffuse skylight. A concrete plinth demarcates a new ground in a field of water and mineral deposits, with a robust timber skeleton to resist the extreme weather conditions, cladded with polycarbonate. The elevation in the concrete plinth creates a natural seating with pivoting openings to the landscape. The half floor on 1st floor provides a sheltering function in extreme weathers, and the top floor a panoramic view over Værengene’s rich birdlife. The structural composition resembles the low fog layers coming from the moist ground and the tree crowns that protrude out in order to create a camouflaged structure.Competition, 2018 X Noah Vagle, Pelle Juul Carlsen
