Amber Qasir: Looking Out Week 4

This split view mountain lodge in Norway, designed by Reiulf Ramstad Architects is located nearby a popular skiing destination. The architects took the relatively simple program and designed something clear-cut and simple with a continuous timber cladding. The wood should take on a grey color over time, as the architects took into consideration how their material will age. The changing levels of the building reflect the natural sloping topography and the split program allowed the architects to frame specific views of the landscape around them. The building follows traditional Scandinavian architecture styles by taking into account materiality and lighting in its form, as well as taking into account the natural landscape and context.
