Plans have been unveiled for the coil- shaped Lofoten Opera Hotel to be built in Norway’s stunning Lofoten archipelago. The striking hotel design will cover 11,000sq m (118,400sq ft) and will fea- ture as-of-yet unnamed spa facilities in addition to 95 hotel rooms and apart- ments, seawater basins, an amphitheatre and many outdoor sporting activities. Norway-based Snøhetta Architects are behind the project and said in December 2013 the cost would be approximately NK300m (US$49.6m, £30m, E35.9m). Snøhetta says the building strategy focused on the “functional and technical
aspects of access, infrastructure, ecology and sustainability, connection to outdoor areas and existing buildings.” The hotel’s curvaceous design helps it to blend into the mountain and the sur- rounding seascape, while creating an inner and outer area for activities. Construction is expected to begin later this year although no completion date has been set. The remotely located hotel will be aiming to attract active guests to the Lofoten area, which is on one of the 18 national tourist routes in Norway and is highly popular with hikers and nature lovers.
