Wild Reindeer Centre pavilion

摘要

Set in the harsh but majestic mountainous landscape of Norway's Dovrefjell National Park is a striking timber shelter for observing wild reindeer and other rare animals, including musk-ox and polar foxes. Norwegian practice Snohetta was appointed in 2009 to design a shelter for school groups and the public, allowing them to view the protected animals in a concealed environment as part of the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programme. The 90sq m Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion, which cost 4 million kroner (£440,000), provides just the basics: a warm gathering space (there is a fireplace suspended from the ceiling), seating for 35 visitors and a small kitchen. Toilets are in a nearby separate building.
