Text description provided by the architects. 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 - a waiting room and two rest rooms – 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. Ie. that a SG-facade system ("structural glazing") is assembled with the outside inwards. Both walls and ceiling have this structure and the rooms appear inside with very plane glass sufaces.
