SKOVTÅRNET

Forest Tower, Rønnede

The idea was to take a cylinder shape with expanded bottom and top and slimming it in the middle.
the build form is called a hyperboloid shape, where the long vertical steel tubes don’t bend, but follow the structure around, this gives the experience of being in the forest amongst the treetops, and going further up, going over the tree tops and ending in a large 360 degree viewing platform.

 

The main structure is made with Corten steel, which has a red brown earth color that melts into the forest colors and enhances the experience of being one with the surrounding forest.

The boards on the tower are made from locally sourced oak from the surround forest, all tree is PETC certified
