Reindeers and Snohetta























The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Center in Dovre was designed by Snohetta. The site itself is 90 square meters, has comfortable seating area, features a fireplace and a glass facade that is supported by steel fins. The Pavilion was constructed by using Norwegian Shipbuilding techniques. The waving effect was achieved by using 10 inch wooden beams that were milled and assembled by making good use of pegs.
The beautiful and innovative execution of the Center was left to the surroundings, panoramic views and really, the existing “architecture” of nature.
