Northern Maritime

Forested land, open coast, and long stretches

without interruption.

Northern Maritime.jpg

Orientation Snapshot

  • A broken coastline with wide intervals of quiet

  • Forested inland areas reaching close to the sea

  • Lower density outside port towns

  • Seasonal weather shaping rhythm rather than access

  • A coast defined by space more than activity

Operating Conditions

  • Summer brings openness rather than crowding

  • Large sections of coast remain empty for long periods

  • Roads connect small settlements without compressing them

  • Everyday exchange happens through brief, local encounters

  • Forest and sea structure movement and pause

  • Life unfolds without the need for constant animation

Reality Pins

  • Swimming often happens without shared space

  • Coastal roads pass long stretches without built density

  • Forest cover remains continuous across inland zones

  • Small towns maintain daily routines independent of seasons

Material & Making Implications

  • Materials are chosen for exposure to humidity and salt

  • Wood and clay remain present in everyday use

  • Making favors durability and simplicity

  • Repair is part of normal circulation

  • Objects are shaped for use, not display

Handoff

Materials emerge from forest, coast, and small settlements.
Objects reflect space, exposure, and everyday presence.
