Vestby Kulturkvartal – slatted elements in oak meet modern architecture

In the middle of Vestby city centre, a brand new Culture Quarter, Vestby Kulturkvartal, opened in 2023 - a gathering place where people meet to experience both culture and community.

Here, L2 Arkitekter has created spaces that both impress and invite the public inside, with a perfect balance between open spaces and more sheltered zones.

Vyrk has supplied slatted elements in lacquered white oak with a black cloth behind the slats. This solution reduces both sound and visual noise in the large common rooms – without becoming heavy or dark. We have also supplied glass walls that let daylight pass through the building and allow people to see each other – while creating closed spaces where needed.

When wood and glass work together in perfect harmony, the result is a cultural centre that both looks good and works well for everyone who uses it.
