Holiday winner: Restaurant Tusen, Sweden by Murman Arkitekter
Date posted: 04/11/09
This restaurant in a Swedish ski resort is an appropriate gesture to respond to the environmental aspects and the natural forces of the landscape. The simple birch wood tree trunks piled up in a conical form around a steel and wooden inner structure form an outer skin that protects the building from the harsh climatic conditions of winters.
The uncompromising commitment to modern Swedish design is a loyal gesture to the country´s contribution to modernism. It also indicates architects´ dedication to modernity. At the same time the form, which is based on the traditional use of timber tree trunks, links this project to the cultural and architectural history of Sweden.
