process
KATRINA URBANIK has been invited by Miris AS, a Norwegian real estate developer, to prepare a design proposition for the development located in Nordland. The development will form a unique tourism concept deriving richly from the scenic location near the Svartisen Glacier. The location still presents qualities distinctive for areas untouched by human intervention. Svartisen purity has been an unabated source of inspiration that made us conceive solutions which would be non-disruptive for the precious nature at the site. Svartisen Development aims to set an example in the field of the sustainable tourism industry in Norway
vision
Our design intention was to establish innovative, integrated, and cli-mate-friendly facilities according to the high sustainability standards. Our design proposals revolve around the interaction between nature and ar-chitecture. Building concepts are gentle to the surroundings and enhance the experience of living in close contact with nature. Our innovative architecture aims to elevate the attractiveness of that tourist region as well as contribute to the international recognition of the pure and natural beauty of the Svar-tisen landscape.
