The Romsdal Folk Museum is an architectonic attraction and a treasured landmark that embodies the history and identity of this mountain and fjord region in Norway. Our intention in the project was to let the structure signal its meaning and function through its architectural expression and the use of local materials such as the use of wood as the primary material. The scale of the building refers to the morphology of the town. The project conveys an open and progressive attitude that makes diverse utilization possible. The new Romsdal Folk Museum aesthetic borrows from many surrounding buildings in order to unified with its context. By combining traditional materials with expressive architecture in an innovative manner, the building has been fully integrated into its surroundings while still maintaining very unique characteristics. The project has been resolved in such a way that its scale works in harmony with its structural dimensions by breaking down the relatively large volume into expressive fragments. The building’s traits convey an open an inventive approach to designing for flexible use. The project’s high architectural quality is made apparent through its pragmatic organization and economic implementation. The Romsdalmuseet provides amenities for locals, visitors, and staff, thereby introducing new value to the experience of the region. The building then becomes a high functioning facility that both enhances the area, and is enhanced by the area at the same time.
