The office building

5 / 71:50

The office building was constructed in the early 1950s. Until then, the boat-building workshop had a small office inside the boathouse, which still exists. Tharald Moen also had an office at home and used it for the rest of his life.

The new office on the second floor used to be Reidar’s. Here he had a drawing board and a photocopier for large boat drawings. The walls still feature the original birch panelling, a type of panelling that was also used in older passenger boats where the interior was intended to be a little more upmarket.

The office has been preserved as a reminder of the work that took place here, and when the building was renovated a few years ago, this room was a key reason for retaining its original character.

During the renovation, the whole building was jacked up so that new foundations could be laid and a new basement floor installed. Because the sea occasionally rises right up to the floor, the foundation extends roughly 50 centimetres above floor level. The building also received new cladding, a new roof, and a water supply with a shower and toilet, while the drainage was connected to the municipal network.

Today, the second floor is a holiday flat, with the old office preserved as a living room. The flat is available to rent on a weekly basis all year round. If required, the ground floor can also be rented as additional accommodation.

The ground floor can also be hired for meetings, birthday parties and other gatherings. The premises are heated and can be used all year round.
