Troll Wall Restaurant by Reiulf Ramstad Architects

Reiulf Ramstad Architects won a 2009 competition for designing a restaurant and service centre in Trollveggen, Møre og Romsdal, Norway. The building, which was due to its location dubbed Trollwall, was completed in the summer of 2011. The area is sought after by extreme sports enthusiasts for its tallest vertical rock face in Europe. The restauration is designed to blend into the environment and at the same time retain its uniqueness and identity.

Its trademark is the jagged roof and its whole glass gable walls. Glass and the jagged shapes are complemented by wood, which is lining the rest of the facade. Interior of the main restaurant space, thanks to the use of glass, casts a pristine impression and communicates with the surrounding landscape.
