Åfjord Town Hall – spruce slats and glass walls in interaction

Åfjord Municipality recently opened a 2,800-square-metre town hall as part of a city centre development in Årnes. The building presents a subdued façade that connects it to the adjacent activity house through a well-thought-out selection of materials.

Vyrk has supplied 4-sided, white-pigmented spruce slats for ceilings and railings/walls, elements that both improve the acoustics of the rooms and add visual quality.

Glass walls with solid timber frame doors create a good division of zones, while preserving the light flow between office areas.

The combinations of wooden slats and glass walls show how natural materials can help ensure both technical and aesthetic qualities in a public building.
