정박한 쇄빙선과 짝을 이루는 물류회사의 본사는 부둣가에 새로운
이정표를 바다에 띄운다.
수평으로 긴 직육면체의 공간은 측면에 마감된 블랙스틸로 볼드하며 장중한,
그리고 심플한 건축적 성향을 보인다. 여기 양 끝단에 오픈된 글래스 파사드는
한면은 육지로 한면은 바다로 향하며 공간을 연속, 관통된 시각적 착각을 불러 일으킨다.
사실 블랙스틸은 펀칭된 골강판을 수직으로 연속시키는 디테일로,
촉감적인 휴먼스케일을 유발시켜 건축물을 풍성하게 생성시킨다.

The horizontal massing and customized black steel facades relate to the
black hulls of the adjacent ice breaker ships. The headquarters building
can be seen as one the vessels. The interior of the black “steel ship”
is constructed of lacquered wood which related to earlier ship building
traditions. The facades of the building are made of customized wave
pattern steel profile. There is a gradient and abstract pattern
perforated on the steel profiles which relates to ice crystals and
sailor textile patterns.
The building will be completed on a shipyard in western Finland and towed to site. There is a water ballast system which will maintain the floor level of the office building in the same level as the dock.
