Text description provided by the architects. Nestled in the arctic circle, on the otherworldly island of Henningsvær in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago is Trevarefabrikken. Originally opened in the 1940s as a factory (fabrikk in Norwegian) to produce cod liver oil and house a carpentry workshop, the once abandoned site is undergoing a character evolution into a hotel and cultural hub focused on wellbeing and leisure. The first phase of Trevarefabrikken is nearing completion with the guidance of Jonathan Tuckey Design. Four friends spontaneously purchased the dilapidated factory in 2014, and with the help of family, craftspeople and the local community have gradually transformed the site into a powerful symbol of collaboration and rejuvenation.
