The Waterfront

The Waterfront is one of the largest residential developments in Europe, inspired by the gorgeous Norwegian scenery. Local building traditions of natural, unoiled wood were combined with innovative architecture and the dimensionally stable Thermory products to create a truly unique reflection of Norwegian values with captivating views of sea and city.

Thermory Benchmark Pine is thermally modified using only heat and steam, resulting in a naturally light color and 20+ years of rot resistance. Using responsibly sourced Scots Pine from Scandinavia, Thermory’s expert modification process makes Benchmark Pine the unrivaled leader in durability in the softwood market. Because of the highly controlled modification process by true industry experts, Thermory Benchmark Pine will retain its strength, stability, and smoothness for decades with very little maintenance required. The choice of Thermory Benchmark Pine for this project offered an ideal opportunity for the beauty of truly natural wood, allowed to age at its own pace, to shine in the Norwegian landscape of mountain, sea, and forest.
