Architecture is trying to stand tall and create a landmark. I wish the approach to design was one that merges with the nature; yet creating an impact. Interiors seem simplistic and attractive. Love the over-hanging glass balcony. Sensitivity to its breath-taking context seems to lack. Architecture is trying to stand tall and create a landmark.

The materials and design ethos are appropriate but the stocky shape introduces a negative visual energy. It's a shame design elements of the landscape, especially the mountains weren't considered more closely.

Knut Hamsun is regarded as the soul of Norway, this building seems to lack some of that precious quality. It may need a visit, the snaps are not that good. …. slightly disappointing … Knut Hamsun is regarded as the soul of Norway, this building seems to lack some of that precious quality.
