At the same time the roof of the terminal building is designed as a varied green landscape with stairs, ramps, niches, and cosy corners, inviting both Stockholmers and passengers for a stroll or relaxing moments, while enjoying the view of the ferries, the archipelago, and the city skyline. ![]() Site Plan In that way radically blurring the way in which the line between architecture, harbour and the rooftop landscape is experienced, linking the terminal to its maritime context in a direct manner, both in scale, tectonics and though its materiality - but also back to the city through its accessible public park on top. ![]() © Adam Mørk Clarity and consistency ![]() © Adam Mørk Focus on light ![]() © Adam Mørk ![]() Section ![]() © Adam Mørk Made to be self-sufficient in energy ![]() © Adam Mørk An estimated four million people annually will pass through Värtaterminalen, travelling to and from Finland and the Baltics. ![]() © Adam Mørk Product Description.The firsthand experience of the terminal reveals a confident realization and immediacy detailing that demonstrates an innovative new type of typology the area, capable of intermixing fluid spaces for traffic and passengers, further enhanced through a setting of large seamless surfaces, interwoven from outside in and outwards. Applicating a special atmospheric sensuality and attention to material, detail - perhaps more parallel to the architecture of its vessels it serves than the traditional architecture in the area, surrounding the site of the terminal. ![]() © Adam Mørk Radically blurring the way in which the line between architecture, harbour and the rooftop landscape is experienced, linking the terminal to its maritime context in a direct manner, both in scale, tectonics and though its materiality - but also back to the city through its accessible public park on top. ![]() © Adam Mørk A deliberate clarity and consistency of architectural solutions, most clear through the terminals exposed zig-zag trusses, vast use of floor-high seamless panoramic glass sections and seem less floors and cladding used for its facades and ceilings. And for the urban park it's vast green buildup on top it's roofscape.
