Time had run out for an older sea shed at a wharf on Snarøya. The building was in very poor condition and a rehabilitation required extensive replacement of the existing construction and cladding. The owner wanted an upgrade that enabled a social use of the limited area of only 10m².

The solution was to keep the building's outer frames and build on the existing look with a pitched roof and standing wooden cladding. The ridge height of the salt roof was lowered somewhat from the existing one and the angle made slacker with a marked, slim finish. Inside, the shed has been given a storage cupboard with a counter in composite stone above. The sea shed's transformation is revealed by the fact that parts of the wall facing the sea can be opened up with the help of hydraulic pumps.

The warm expression of the materials inside stands as a contrast to the more controlled cold exterior expression.
