Gjuteriet From drawing to reality It’s a joy to follow the assembly of the timber frame structure, shaping the space of Gjuteriet. The added timber structure, detached from the walls and hung from the roof, keeps a distance to the existing structure to preserve the spatial quality of the large hall. The new elements create a variation of spaces suitable for new programmes and the design allows daylight from the tall windows and roof lanterns to penetrate through the entire broad and deep space.
