We designed a single folded roof in laminated timber that rises over the galleries and drops to the quay on the water side. The fold catches northern light and sends it deep into the plan through a continuous clerestory, so the rooms stay bright without direct sun on the walls.

Glass is used only where the view matters. Everywhere else, thick timber and lime-washed walls keep temperature and humidity steady. The harbor is never hidden for long, but it is always a choice, revealed at the end of a gallery or from the café terrace.
