Embracing the picturesque backdrop of the lush landscapes and open seas of the Faroe Islands, the design for Smyril Line's new headquarters and ferry terminal in the Faroese capital pays homage to traditional Faroese fishing boats and the historic Eastern harbor. @element_visualizations was the team that translated our design to imagery, crafting Smyril's visual story. Their visuals have won @architizer's Vision Award for Best Photorealistic Visualisation of the Year 2023. Congratulations on the well deserved achievement! Once the primary gateway connecting the Faroe Islands with the rest of the world, Tórshavn's Eastern harbor holds sentimental value for many Faroese people, serving as a departure point for loved ones embarking on new journeys or as a romantic setting for leisurely strolls along the water. In recent years, the harbor was closed to the public due to Schengen port security measures. The new terminal, logistics centre, and office building, totaling 8,000 m2, captures the essence of the nostalgia found in 1950’s black-and-white photographs showing crowds gathering to bid farewell to departing passengers. #henninglarsen #henninglarsenarchitects #architecture #scandinaviandesign #nordicnoir #designboom #archdaily #architecture_hunter #architecturerender #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #greenroof #faroeislands #torshavn
