Atelier Lorentzen Langkilde complete this striking town hall in northern Norway

Bodø, Norway

The following description is from ALL (Atelier Lorentzen Langkilde).

The design of a new town hall for Bodø involves the renovation and transformation of three existing, preservation-worthy buildings.

The insertion of a new workspace for 400 employees takes the form of a stone prism, faceted to allow sunlight to reach the preserved buildings.

The new workspace stitches together the three old buildings, becoming the heart and central meeting place of the town hall campus.

A canteen with panoramic views caps the new building.
