Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion by Snohetta Oslo AS







This amazing pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, overlooking the Snohetta mountain massif. It is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programs. 
The landscape has formed the basis of the architectural idea. The building design is based on a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core. The south facing exterior wall and the interior create a protected and warm gathering place, while it offers a spectacular panorama.
The simple form and use of natural materials reference local building traditions. But they still have used advanced technologies both in the design and in the fabrication process.
