Project Description from the Architects:
Rebild Hills and Rold Forest in northern Jutland are some of Denmark's most beautiful and unique nature reserves, and thus the area holds an extraordinary potential for offering spectacular experiences in this very distinctive rolling landscape. We wish to contribute to the creation of an ideal setting for the narrative about cultural history and nature experiences in these unique surroundings.
We are inspired by the idea of a building, which bids you welcome and acts as a natural gathering place. An open and accommodating building that offers knowledge and insight before guiding and distributing the visitors into the hills and the forest.
We have created an information portal, which is both building and nature. The project's distinctive expression and character are derived directly from Nature's own formal language and elements, which makes the building stand out from its surroundings and blend in with nature's scenery at one and the same time.
