1st Place for the Vestland County Chambers
As a subconsultant to Lab Entreprenør, Tin participated in the winning team. The office’s contributions consisted of simple stuff, such as conveying internal narratives on programmatic mix, logic and content, in both text and isonometrics. Tin also authored and illustrated some models on emerging real estate practices (from year, hour to minute-based leases), logic of flexibility, reduction of office spaces, and CO2 emissions. The winning bid were reviewed on two measures: conceptual design and cost by two different juries.
Jostein Fjærstad, the real estate director in Hordaland county, hails it as “the best architectural solution both externally and internally, based on the tender documents". In addition, he believes that the winning contribution the "Penrose Staircase" is clearly the best in highlighting the activities of democracy and the county municipality for its inhabitants, which was one of the competition criteria.
