Community as centre
SP816 - COMMUNITY AS CENTER
The lack of a strong connection between Larvik’s city center and waterfront is both physical and mental, due to few public buildings present along the sea, creating a sense of distance from the community.
Transforming the Toldboden into a new community center will serve as a focal point to better define the harbour’s future identity. By renovating and expanding the existing building, it can accommodate a diverse range of functions such as a library, coworking spaces, and multifunctional areas.
To resolve the physical disconnection between the city and the harbour, the project proposes an underground passage that will offer an exciting opportunity to rediscover Larvik’s geological richness, turning it into a significant new attraction for residents and visitors.
