Tårnet, Stord

Eleven metres up, and a view.

The summit already has a cairn and a path worn by walkers. We drew the tower to stand where the cairn is and to ask for nothing else: no road, no concrete beyond four footings, and a lattice thin enough to see through. Larch, glulam, 140 by 140.

The platform is at +11.2 metres, which clears the heather and shows the Bømlafjorden out to the horizon. Sixty-four entries came in for the Stord competition and ours won, so the photograph is the hilltop as it is today. The tower is still a drawing.
