Architectural Design Competition | Fish market in Bergen, Norway | Kjellgren Kaminsky Architechture

The Bergen municipality launched a competition to design a new building on the towns major central marketplace. This was our proposal.

The resulting big open market space gives opportunities to different types of activities such as temporary markets, meeting point, outside bars, exhibition spaces, light installations etc. The public room reaches into the building and to the the balcony on the top floor which is public.
