"In the far north of Norway, above the Arctic Circle where daylight stretches-or vanishes-for months at a time, a former cod liver oil factory has been thoughtfully revived. On the island of Henningsvær in the Lofoten archipelago, Trevarefabrikken-once an industrial outpost and later abandoned-has found new life as a hotel, restaurant, and cultural space shaped by community effort and the careful hand of London-based Tuckey Design Studio."
"When four friends purchased the derelict building in 2014, they began an ongoing experience in reuse-working with family, craftspeople, and volunteers contributing to its renewal. When they called upon Tuckey Design Studio to join in 2019, the goal was not reinvention but refinement: to introduce a layer of warmth and structure without diminishing the rough character of the original concrete shell."
A derelict cod liver oil factory on Henningsvær in the Lofoten archipelago has been converted into Trevarefabrikken, a hotel, restaurant, and cultural space. Four friends purchased the building in 2014 and led a slow, collective reuse effort with family, craftspeople, and volunteers. Tuckey Design Studio joined in 2019 to refine the project, adding warmth and structure while preserving the raw concrete shell. Local timber, resin-polished floors, seafoam hues, and sustainable interventions feature throughout. Construction, joinery, and furniture were carried out by owners, locals, and travelers, with materials sourced nearby when possible.
