Accessible by electric ferry, the “Solomon’s Eye” comprises a basement, ground floor and first floor connected by a spiral staircase
A floating exhibition pavilion and aquaculture visitor center in the Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second largest fjord, with an exterior of steel plates that mimic fish scales, was created by Danish exhibition space design studio Kvorning Design.
The “Salmon Eye” was designed to host exhibitions and provide information on the possibilities of sustainable aquaculture; the project was conceived by local fish farming company Eide Fjordbruk.
The structure’s name and bulbous shape were inspired by the round shape of salmon’s eyes, and the 9,500 stainless steel plates that cover it are positioned to look like the fish’s scaly skin.
Accessible by electric ferry, the ‘Solomon’s Eye’ comprises a basement, ground floor and first floor connected by a spiral staircase. Roof terrace offers spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding mountains. “The ‘Salmon Eye’ was built to facilitate learning sessions and discussions on the prospects of a sustainable way of fish farming,” the designers from the Kvorning Design studio told Dezeen.
