Living in ever crowded cities, we do understand people\u2019s need to be closer to nature. But when everything happens right at the heart of nature, then the perspective completely changes. This is the very impact the Norwegian architecture firm Snohetta relied on when it built a mountain lodge in a secluded area close to a fjord. Seen from the distance, one can hardly notice the small living structure so perfectly it blends into the wild landscape all around.<\/p>\n
The hunting lodge is beautifully situated, alone beside a lake in the untouched mountain areas close to \u00c5krafjorden in the western part of Norway. It is accessible only by foot or horseback. The integration of the hut into the landscape has been an important part of the concept. The terrain is characteristic with grass, heather and rocks, and the hut’s shape, orientation, and materials are dictated by this, the firm says in its presentation.<\/p>\n
