Architectural <strong>Copper</strong> Review | 2005 / 2<br />

<strong>Copper</strong> in Sandefjord’s archipelago in Norway<br />

On one of the islands outside<br />

Sandefjord, construction of a weekend<br />

house by the sea has just been finished.<br />

The house is embedded between the flat<br />

rocks and blends in nicely with the harsh<br />

archipelago landscape on the island. The<br />

roof is strip-covered with green-pati-<br />

nated copper.<br />

When passing the island by boat at a<br />

distance, it is hard to make out the<br />

details on the roof; the green-patinated<br />

22<br />

copper blends in with the low-growing<br />

green vegetation on the island.<br />

Architect firm Kvartal 19 in Sandefjord<br />

has designed the house and Vestfold<br />

Kobber & Blikkenslagerverksted AS, also<br />

from Sandefjord, performed the copper<br />

assembly.<br />
