situatively layered
The building is visually cut into a work level with a dark plinth and light-colored cultural levels.
The main programs Museum, Experience, shops, restaurant are visually separated into volumes. The roof of the various programs are cut up into separate shed roofs with skylight. This results in a composition of volumes and roofs forming a transition between the small urban fabric of the small village and the large port buildings.
flexibel design
The advantage of this design is its flexibility in the design process. This scheme can easily be adjusted with the further elaboration of the program requirements. Functions can grow and shrink by adjusting the available volumes. The composition of roofs allows natural light to carry throughout the interior where desired. A visit to the museum is, by small differences in light intensity in the rooms, like a day at sea with changing sea skies during the voyage.
