Entry Description

Inspired by nature and local traditions, the Eystur Town Hall makes a subtle appearance at first glance. In the Faroe Islands, nature creates the framework for people’s lives and professions and physically, nature is always just around the corner. The Town Hall pays tribute to Nordic landscapes and local grass-roofed houses, but simultaneously defines a new path for contemporary Faroese architecture. The terraces and roof are open to the public, providing not only a bridge, but a point of community and connection between two municipalities in Eystur.
