Lighthouse

The Lighthouse

A lighthouse built for the Afterburn festival. The 12-metre structure rises above the landscape, and its light shows the way to wanderers.

The load-bearing structure is as minimal and functional as possible. The stair stringers and handrails also work as bracing that keeps the tower from leaning.

The façade system had to be invented literally on site — in the wind, the rain and the wood shavings. There is a plan to rebuild the façade into one more worthy of the tower's structure.

The lighthouse was built 50 metres from the Temple of Aphrodite and rose higher than it. For this the Goddess grew angry and sent us trials — thunderstorms unusual for the region.
