Eco Factor: Sustainable restaurant embedded on the side of a mountain
Imagine sitting inside a mountain and sipping your favorite coffee. The very thought seems so exciting. Well, this fascinating idea could shape into reality with an innovative design for a restaurant in Ostersund, Sweden. Architect Johan Berglund of London studio 42 Architects plans a restaurant embedded in the side of a hill.
The project commissioned by Fargfabriken Art Space, an art institution and gallery in Stockholm sees an eating-place that has a negligible visual impact on the beautiful surroundings. Resting in the lap of nature, the design has room for an elevated walkway that offers spectacular views over Ostersund and Storsjon, rest areas to offer luxury and comfort, and stunning wind-driven lights that rotates in accordance to the direction of the wind.
