Architecture and the Arctic in dialogue
Sometimes we think that in the Arctic there is only snow and a lot of cold, what if!… But in reality it hides many more secrets that few - unfortunately - will be able to discover.
From a small island called Manshausen located in the deepest Norway, we find a spiritual jewel of rest. A small town that enters into a dialogue between architecture and the most beautiful Arctic thanks to a hotel that reflects the purity of the area.
A small hotel that is owned by Borge Ousland, one of those photographers who live the world 100%, many publications and images of nature have been visible in the famous magazine ofNational Geographic, Among others, and a thousand experiences to tell led him to build his illusion in his hometown.
A place to appreciate the most forceful nature, to feel it and embrace it in its maximum expression thanks to the hand of the architect Snorre Stinessen who knew how to capture the essence of the place in detail with a "friendly" architecture full of pure lines. (See also minimalist houses)
A small hotel that consists of 13 cabins, a sauna and a meeting room with all the modern comforts and modernities but almost at the end of the world and with landscapes that make the hair stand on end, and that without contemplating the Northern Lights.
The photographs and video are by Steve King, a photographer specialized in architecture who knew how to capture with his aerial perspective the dialogue between architecture and nature with the necessary distance to understand and reflect on the emotional connection between both.
