henning larsen's klaksvik row club is backdropped by the faroe islands' fjords

With the design of its Klaksvík Row Club, the architects at Henning Larsen celebrate the significance of rowing, deeply embedded in Faroese culture, and pay homage to the heritage.

'Our design is rooted in Klaksvík's landscape and culture,' says Ósbjørn Jacobsen, Design Director for Henning Larsen in the Faroe Islands, emphasizing the architectural dialogue with the natural surroundings and Faroese tradition.

Henning Larsen's urban plan for Klaksvík prioritizes pedestrian access and vibrant public spaces, exemplified by the Row Club, children's skating rink, and central plaza, enhancing community interaction.

The 620-square-meter Klaksvík Row Club by Henning Larsen not only serves as a functional space for athletes but also prioritizes user experience, showcasing a blend of modern design and cultural heritage.
