The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, overlooking the Snøhetta mountain massif.
The 90m2 building is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes. A 1,5km nature path brings visitors to this spectacular site, 1200 meters above sea level.
Visitors to the pavilion can sit on the wooden form, where they are warmed by a suspended furnace.
Norwegian ship-builders constructed the curved timber centre from pine beams, which were milled using digital models and then pegged together.
A rectangular steel frame contains the pavilion and a glazed wall lines the observation area.
Named the Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion, the building is used as an education centre by charity the Wild Reindeer Foundation.
The rippled timber core of this reindeer observation pavilion by architects Snøhetta mirrors the curves of the surrounding Dovre Mountains in Norway.
Super cool Architecture!
