Modern Architecture - Ormen Lange: Norway

Is it only me that thinks this building is really sexy? Credit goes to JAJA, an architecture office based in Copenhagen, Denmark, who has revealed this proposal for an office and shop complex in Sandnes, Norway. The project occupies 1139,930 ft² (13000 m²).

The building, named Ormen Lange, snakes through the landscape and lifts itself up to create a new landmark that ensures a fantastic view. It was named after an ancient Viking Ship, which was called "Worm Lange" or long worm.

With beautiful moving lines, and a sleek modern look, the project is quite stunning. Just like on a Viking Ship the façade rises up at the end of the building and provides a glorious majestic expression.

I'm having issues with the scale and proportion of the building. It's easy to proposal but the real test is in the built works.
