Located in the Innovation Park at Ullandhaug, Stavanger, the Archive House, designed by Lund+Slaatto Architects, recently opened its doors to the public, who will now have access to its more than 40 miles of archives of important historical sources from the Rogaland County, the city of Stavanger and the Norwegian Mission Society.
The 46,000-square-foot cultural research center includes a café, library, meeting room and exhibition area. Strikingly notable is the building’s exterior, an origami-inspired design utilizing modified wood Kebony cladding, which helps create an eye-catching geometric ‘folded’ façade.
