Vennesla Library and Culture House

The building spans 1900 square meters across two floors, featuring 27 glue-laminated timber arcs that form structural supports throughout the interior space.

The Municipality of Vennesla initiated the project in 2005 to establish a central cultural hub by connecting an existing community building with a learning center.

The facility maintains a collection of books and educational materials while providing spaces for concerts, theater productions, and cinema screenings.

The building contains 295 seats, a coffee shop, open meeting areas, classrooms for adult education courses, and multiple spaces for community gatherings.

The interior architecture incorporates wooden beam structures that extend from floor to ceiling, creating a pattern similar to skeletal formations.
