The architectural firm that designed this building does beautiful work. I saw a few photos of their work which is quite different in size; tiny mountain side cabins. This firm is very versatile; and super talented. They like doing those ‘angular slices’ - and you see that motif on many of their other projects. > **[Snøhetta perches pentagonal hiking cabins alongside a Norwegian glacier](https://www.dezeen.com/2020/06/23/snohetta-tungestolen-hiking-cabin-jostedalen-glacier/)** > > Snøhetta has built a group of timber cabins overlooking the Jostedalen glacier in Norway to replace the previous accommodation buildings that were destroyed by a cyclone. ---
