The process started with a series of rough 3D sketches to communicate the concept and gain client approval. As the idea developed, I worked closely with Vill Mer and Sætrevik Interiørsnekkeri to explore how the wall could be constructed in a technically and economically feasible way around the existing architecture and infrastructure.

Once the main parameters were defined, I created a detailed 3D model of the space in Rhino 3D and developed a fully parametric setup using Grasshopper. This setup allowed the form to be adjusted interactively while automatically recalculating the material requirements. That made it possible to balance design intent and cost in real time — an approach that supported fast, informed decisions throughout the process.

When the design was finalised, I generated the fabrication data and CNC cutting files for the wooden frames, which the carpenters used to build and assemble the wall. A similar workflow was applied to the alcove elements, ensuring precision and consistency in the final installation.

The Grasshopper-based workflow made it possible to iterate freely on the design without rebuilding the model, significantly improving efficiency. Automatic nesting provided immediate feedback on material use, enabling the design to be refined to fit the budget without compromising visual quality.

The resulting installation is a fluid, wave-like feature that captures the maritime spirit of the Skipet building — a successful meeting of parametric design, craftsmanship, and cost control.
