The goal is to provide this seaside area with new program functions and architectural characteristics, ensuring a beautiful, atractive town centre and contributing to the development and strengthening of the town’s identity. The building will be Hammerfest’s main “living room”, a public and social scene for all.

The functions in the building are grouped in compact units and organized in such a way that in-between spaces with different levels of access are created, and the numbers of public related areas are maximized. These social “scenes”, both indoors and outdoors, attach the Culture Centre to the city of Hammerfest.

The building is an object with a clear signal effect whereas accessibility, openness and creative, artistic energy is expressed.
The ACC will also be the first building on the Findus site (waterfront), and will thus importantly condition further development and redevelopment of the relationship between Hammerfest town center and the sea.
