Oslo-based architecture practice Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter has completed new Norwegian Mountaineering Center in Åndalsnes, Norway with patterned facade referring to the local context. The project won the first prize in 2009 and was completed after seven-years construction period.
The Norwegian Mountaineering Center is anchored in an innovative interpretation of nature’s fantastic dimensions and the dramatic experience of mountaineering. The design of the building is based on its function as a mountaineering center and gathering place for both locals and visitors.

This provides the structure with a characteristic volume communicating its contents with exciting and unique geometrical expression. Its outer skin is clad in a uniform surface, highlighting its originality and situation next to the train tracks of Raumabanen and the station area in the Åndalsnes town center.
