A thrilling new concept design for a boutique hotel in Norway, built into one of the country's most famous landmarks, features a glass-bottom pool nearly 2,000 feet above the fjord below.
"One day a friend of mine sent me photos of 'The Rock' she captured during her Norway trip. The photos were taken right behind the edge," he said."Even though I wasn’t there, I experienced the adrenaline of being on the edge. Then, I dreamed of living on or beyond the edge.The design of the hotel is evocative, to say the least, and I asked Atak where the inspiration for the design came from.
"I like to call it 'What-if' brainstorming. What if there is something like [what I imagine] somewhere in this universe? The design is an attempt to answer this question in a particular place. So, we should consider the design as a sketch of what that answer might be.
"The hotel can be considered a part or an extension of the cliff, but I thought that experiencing something 'beyond the edge' was much more thrilling in a pool rather than on a balcony." "Experiences in a place can’t be designed in a stated pattern. It should be personal, varied based on expectations, dreams, backgrounds, and even love. For example, someone could find poetry in the moment while another could be overcoming a phobia.""In that case, if I could experience the pool, I would feel like a dolphin, striking out towards infinity in the sky; and I think I'd feel peaceful.
