I remember seeing photos of a timber storage facility in Scandinavia somewhere with a facade made up on hundreds of timber fins wrapping over what is essentially a big shed.
I cannot for the life or me find a link to any pictures on the net. Does anybody know where I can find some?
is it this?
(alright, i know it's not in scandinavia, but...)

a-f - If i knew exactly where it was I wouldn't have needed to ask for help would I? At least pinuproom had a crack at it instead of trying to be a smart ass.
And yeah, it does look cool. I was trying to find it as a really great and simple example of timber slat rain-screen kinda cladding for another project in the office.
These guys have done some awesome buildings. I think I want to move to Austria now.

locate the Pacific Ocean."
is it just me or does this say that americans are actually a bit
above average?
No worries a-f, I understand your concern...and your offence. I'm no Phileas Fogg but thankfully I do know where America is, and Iraq, and my own country which apparently isn't important to 11% of Americans (now THAT is scary!). When at home I could swim in the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea inside the same hour if I was so inclined. Thats my kind of geography!
Anyway, I only remembered the building from a mag, and could have sworn it was in Norway or Denmark, so I opted for a regional search instead. I'll pay more attention next time.
No hard feelings?
Peace and love to everyone who knows what country they are in.

Not quite. I do like the Dr. Who-esque power pylons on that page tho.
Thanks for the reply.
Those wacky Scandinavians sure do love their timber. What will they think up with next?
I managed to find it purely by accident:

Why?
probably because boehen is in germany...which isn't
scandinavia...

Relax antipod, I just find phenomenae like these problematic.
... and as a scandinavian I feel a bit offended! ;)
