P149 - Lagunen II

P149 - Site visit and façade mock-up inspection in Bergen, Norway by Morten Vedelsbøl

Site visit to inspect a façade mock-up for 'Lagunen II' in Bergen, Norway. The horizontal solar shading provides optimal daylight conditions to enhance the well-being of the building users while also reducing the need for cooling. The louvers contain a high percentage of recycled material, which reduces the carbon footprint to less than a fourth of the global average.

'Lagunen II' in Bergen, Norway, is designed around social sustainability and community building, transforming the otherwise introverted building complex by opening up the building envelope to restaurants and cafes on the entire ground floor. South-facing roof terraces on each level provide social outdoor spaces for all users.

Construction is ongoing, and the building is expected to open to the public in late 2025.
