This project sets about designing a Nature Refuge placed along the rambling route of Hærvejen in North Jutland. The project evolve around the main theme of architecture and landscape, and utilize the experience of the surrounding scenery as design giving parameters, seeking to accentuate the experience of both landscape and architecture as an intertwining conversation. The Nature Refuge establish the facilities for overnight stays and for teaching visitors about the local nature, in this project subtracted as the mere functions of Learn, Stay and Sleep. The technical focus is to integrate the site specific climatic circumstances, transforming them into a meaningful relation defining the experience of the architectural expression.
