Nordic House in the Faroe Islands

The Nordic House features an adaptable lobby space with Scottish slate floors, Swedish pine, and Danish ash ceilings for multiple cultural activities.

Following a competition with 158 participants, architects Ola Steen and Kolbrún Ragnarsdóttir designed the Nordic House, which opened in Tórshavn in 1983.

The center organizes exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and the North Atlantic Music Event to promote Nordic and Faroese artistic expressions.

The facility includes an auditorium for performances, a library focused on Nordic literature, and a café serving regional and international dishes.

The building incorporates a turf-covered roof with steel supports designed to withstand hurricane winds common in the Faroe Islands.
