At the outskirts of the Dovrefjell National Park stands a pavilion with a panoramic view of the mountain, a refuge for school groups and visitors while guides talk about the unique history of the Dovre Mountain plateau.
The National Park hosts herds of wild reindeer, musk oxen, arctic foxes, and a huge variety of endemic plant species, as well as having a history full of tradition. The pavilion designed by the Snøhetta studio is very robust, refines local building traditions, and enriches the unique landscape of Dovrefjell, with characteristics recurring in the architecture projects of that geographical area.
Great attention has been placed on the quality and durability of the materials, so that the building can withstand the harsh winter. The shape and use of natural materials are a reference to local building traditions, while new technologies serve to bring efficiency to the manufacturing process.
