NEW PROJECT – Sandefjord Havn

Sandefjord Harbour, also known as Sandefjord Havn, is a picturesque harbor located in the city of Sandefjord, Norway. Situated on the eastern coast of the Oslofjord, Sandefjord is a historic coastal town known for its rich maritime heritage and stunning natural beauty. The harbor serves as a vital hub for maritime activities in the region, offering various services and facilities for both commercial and recreational vessels. It has played a significant role in Sandefjord's history, which was primarily driven by whaling and shipping industries in the past.

Together with our friends at Vill, we can't wait to start working on a new vision for this ambitious city!

NEW PROJECT – Sandefjord Havn

Haptic, together with Vill, have been commissioned by the Municipality of Sandefjord to carry out a feasibility study for the regeneration of the city's inner harbor. The project includes an urban and environmental analysis of the historic waterfront in the city centre, before proposing a new vision for the ambitious future-facing city.

W3 - a community building currently under construction in King's Cross

As part of the King’s Cross masterplan, W3 is currently on site to become a fully accessible community building, including a café, gym studios and a crèche.
Comfort and wellbeing for the occupants are main drivers behind the designs. To achieve a minimal carbon footprint for both ‘in-use’ and in embodied energy terms, BREEAM excellent rating is targeted, with the building’s structure and façades all made from engineered timber.

We have moved and settled into our new London office!
Our new home offers a spacious, light, and bright workplace, with a lovely outside terrace right on the canal at Wenlock Basin.
We’d love to share the space with other businesses and have desks and meeting rooms available. Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining us! DM us if interested.

AQ Fjordarium – 3/3

The Fjordarium has been designed in close dialogue with the Norwegian Institute for Water Research to best preserve marine biodiversity, both underwater and along the shoreline. The building is designed to withstand the fjord’s waves and currents and bring natural light into the spaces below water level. Enabling unique exposure to the Oslofjord, it will focus on challenges and solutions for cleaning the fjord, which has been heavily polluted as a result of agricultural waste.
