The communication along the outer coast, the seasonal fisheries and the trading with the nearby area and Bergen, was why a place like Selsøyvik existed in the 18th- and 19th century. Today the operation grounds are completely changed, and a new industry must be generated in order for these buildings to still be utilised. At Selsøyvik local trade still occurs, fish processing and port of call for the Express boats. Fish farming has been a primary source of revenue since these operations started running in 1979. It has resulted in engagement of the old buildings, in addition to the erection of new buildings. In order for such large complexes such as Selsøyvik to survive and be preserved, it is necessary to have a healthy economy and a flexible approach from those involved. Through co-operation between the owner, curator for the county, Directorate for Cultural Heritage and BOARCH arkitekter a solution was reached that was accepted by all parties. In order comply with all of the practical demands, a combination of reconstruction and annexing was carried out. The exterior of the warehouse Nybrygga was retained, while on the interior it was largely reconstructed, and the warehouse Storbrygga was positioned adjacent to it. These two warehouses were adjoined with a central structure. In terms of form and the exterior, Storbrygga retained the same style as the older buildings and was well-integrated with the milieu and cultural landscape.
