Reinoksevann

In response to the country’s phenomenal natural beauty, Norway has undertaken on a National Tourist Routes project, “designed to touch the hearts and souls of tourists by showcasing magnificent scenery in a harmonious and non-exploitive way.” By 2015, eighteen sections of highway, or 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles), are scheduled to become tourist routes. While these routes reward the journey, they also entice the traveler with destinations and places to just stop, relax, and take in a view.

Pushak Architects has been commissioned for locations along the routes. One of this projects is Reinoksevann roadstop. The site is in a flat landscape with a lot of wind comming from all directions. The roadstop has nieches to sit in in three different directions so that one can choose where to sit according to the wind conditions and the pasing of the sun/midnight sun.
