Beate Holmebakk－山景藝術休息站　Roadside restroom

圖片說明：圖片提供／Manthey Kula

挪威建築師Beate Holmebakk在挪威羅弗敦地區（Lofoten）的Akkarvik旅遊步道中所設計的一座景觀廁所，就像是一座擺在大自然山景中的藝術品般，替代了原本被亞特蘭大強勁海風所吹毀的廁所，因此在材料的選擇上也更加地堅固與耐用。廁所由10-12mm厚鋼板焊接而成，頂部大型玻璃板的設計不但提供了絕佳的天空視野，更能反射出周遭美麗的景色。內部遊客可碰觸的部份則為不?鋼板加上玻璃的保護，以避免發生鏽蝕情形。

景觀廁所位於挪威18條國家旅遊景點路線中的其中一條，每一條皆會由建築師及景觀設計師依當地獨特景色共同規劃出不同的設施像是觀景台或休憩區等等，提供遊客自然與設計合而為一的視覺體驗。

景觀廁所的位置非常獨特，所處的狹小高原剛好介於山脈與海洋之間，而從景觀廁所的位置所看出的水平方向景觀壯闊無比。在設計上除了要建造出堅固的景觀廁所，更能讓遊客從內部便能觀賞到周遭的美景。因此在基座上以混凝土構築並結合鋼板的使用，而玻璃板的厚度也高達12至20mm。景觀廁所的門及屋頂與牆的厚度則分別為5mm與10mm。在避免因鋼板?蝕而弄髒遊客衣服的考量下，內部一部份的鋼板則以玻璃板做為保護，而頂部設置的玻璃板則可用來反射出周遭的美麗景色。

Akkarvik, Lofoten 2009 The rest room is built on an existing rest area where the old toilet facility had been lifted off its footing by strong winds, hence the new structure needed to be solid and durable. The building is made of 10-12 mm sheets of structural corteen steel welded together on site. Two large glass openings provide view to the sky and the reflected horizon. Surfaces that get in contact with the visitors are made of stainless steel or covered in clear glass to prevent rust staining.

The project is situated in Lofoten, along one of the National Tourist Routes in Norway. There are eighteen such routes in Norway, all chosen for their spectacular and characteristic landscape. The facilities for the tourists that drive along these roads; such as rest stops, viewing platforms and links to local points of interest are carried out by architects and landscape architects with the purpose of offering an experience of both nature and design. By now 6 routes already have Tourist Routes status and 12 more are in the planning. The project will be finished by 2016.

The Roadside Toilet Facility at Akkarvikodden is built in connection with existing rest stop designed by landscape architect Inge Dahlmann/Landskapsfabrikken. The commission given to Manthey Kula was to design a toilet facility that could replace an existing structure that had been lifted off its foundations by the strong winds from the Atlantic Ocean. Lofoten is located at the 67th and 68th parallels north of the Arctic Circle in North Norway. The site for the project is extraordinary. The road runs on a narrow plateau between the mountains and the sea. Were the rest stop is the plateau widens out and one experience entering a space between the mountains from where the view to the horizon is very powerful. The design had two aims. One was to make the small building very heavy so it would not be lifted off ground. The other was to make interiors that shut the scenery out.

The first objective was of course very pragmatic, a direct response to the history of the building’s predecessor. The other objective was more obscure. The experience of the place, mountains and sea and the ever-present coastal climate is very intense. The restrooms were conceived to present a pause from the impressions of the surrounding nature, offering an experience of different sensuous qualities. The rest room is open only during summer season thus the building did not have to be insulated. Initially it was planned in concrete. However, after having checked the work of some local mechanical industries the designed changed to a body of welded plates. The structure of the small building is not unlike the structure of a ship: welded steel plates locally reinforced with steel flanges – every part specially designed for its specific use. The foundation and the two walls that supports the stainless steel sanitary equipment are cast concrete. Glass panes are 12 and 20mm thick. Doors are built in 5 mm stainless steel plates. Walls and roof are made of 10mm corteen steel. To prevent rust from discoloring the clothes of the visitors parts of the walls are lined with glass panels. In the smallest rest room one glass panel is mounted in the ceiling. In this panel one can see the reflection of the horizon.
