NATURAL
Waterfront by AART Architects
Stavanger has a long and proud history of natural woodwork. The thermally-modified wood products used were left unoiled, furthering the tradition of naturally-aged wood as it slowly transforms to it’s final, beautiful silver patina.
The Waterfront is one of the largest residential developments in Europe, inspired by the gorgeous Norwegian scenery. Local building traditions of natural, unoiled wood were combined with innovative architecture and the dimensionally-stable Thermory products to create a truly unique reflection of Norwegian values with captivating views of sea and city.
Thermory Benchmark Pine is thermally-modified using only heat and steam, resulting in a naturally light color and 20+ years of rot-resistance. Responsibly sourced Scots Pine from Scandinavia, Thermory’s expert modification process makes Benchmark Pine the unrivaled leader in durability in the softwood market.
