Cantilevering slightly over the North Sea horizon where it leaves the ground, it feels as if a container has been dropped informally upon the site, when visitng the Karmøy Fishing Museum.

Very early in the design process it was imagined to propose a concrete tube-like building, open at both ends, placed carefully onto the landscape.
