RAVINEN – A WELL PLANNED PROJECT WERE ART MEETS ARCHITECTURE

For more than three decades, world-renowned sculptors Ulla and Gustav Kraitz had the vision to build a convergence point for art and creativity in their long-time home in southern Sweden. Today, on the northern shores of the Bjäre Peninsula, sits one of Skåne’s greatest cultural projects.  

Ravinen is a 1500 square meter big culture house and an art center and was designed by architect Pontus Möller. The art center has big glass ceilings with a view over the coastline and the sea.  
 
“The first challenge was to take the initial sketch of a hundred-million-kronor building and slash it by roughly half to make the project bankable. My idea became a square design — a two-story building with four components: three art halls, one auditorium, one restaurant-bistro area in addition to personnel spaces like entre and reception.” Pontus Möller, Möller Arkitekter. 

Galleridelen av byggnaden hamnade i norrläge, med en helglasad vägg med utsikt över vackra Laholmsbukten. Det är en spektakulär utsikt och miljön är perfekt för konstutställningar där du vill ha mycket dagsljus men inget direkt solljus.
