Askevågen

This little vantage point with its panoramic view is located on the Atlantic Road.

The viewing platform brings visitors in close contact with the Atlantic Ocean and the mighty forces of nature it embodies. The vantage point is built as a self-supporting construction in naval hull plates bolted to the existing breakwater, from where visitors can come even closer to the ocean and enjoy the panoramic view over the archipelago and the fishing port of Askvågen.

Kjeksa

The vantage point at Kjeksa is located near the fishing hamlet of Bud on the Atlantic Road.

Here, the architect wished to design a rest area that would invite visitors to explore the landscape facing Hustadvika with its islets and skerries, an area where architecture helps emphasize the qualities of the landscape. The rest area has been placed around two old trees that constitute a central element framed by benches and gravel. The green gravel surface, a by-product from local smelters, is held in place by a hidden steel frame. A narrow path in light-coloured concrete follows the undulations of the landscape, leading you to the water’s edge.
