Smešten na zapadnoj obali Norveške, Trollstigen je oformljen u dramatičnom procepu između dubokih fjordova koji su karakteristični za region. Ova panoramska lokacija može se posetiti i izgraditi samo leti zbog teških zimskih uslova.
Uprkos, ili možda baš zbog nepristupačne prirode na lokaciji, projekat obuhvata sveobuhvatni sadržaj za posetioce, od planinskog doma sa restoranom i galerijom, do brana, vodenih kaskada, mostova i staza, kao i spoljašnjeg mobilijara, paviljona i platformi za razgledanje. Svi ovi elementi su uklopljeni u pejzaž tako da je doživljaj prostora posetioca još intimniji. Arhitektonska intervencija predstavlja delikantnu promenu uz poštovanje lokacije, i osmišljena je u vidu uzanog toka koji vodi posetioce od jednog do drugog zapanjujućeg vidikovca.
Projekat studija RRA uveličala je doživljaj lokacije i prirode Trollstigen platoa. Promišljenost u pogledu karakteristika i materijala naglašava temperament i karakter lokacije, i dobro osmišljeni i adaptirani sadržaji će omogućiti još bolji doživljaj posetilaca. Arhitektura je zamišljena tako da se odlikuje jasnim i preciznim prelazima između planiranih zona i prirodnog pejzaža. Putem elemenata vode, kao dinamičnog elementa – od snega, do tekuće i padajuće vode – i stene, kao statičnog elementa, projekat stvara niz predloženih odnosa koji opisuju i uveličavaju jedinstvenu prostornost lokacije.

Located on Norway’s west coast, Trollstigen is perched within a dramatic pass between the deep fjords that characterize the region. This panoramic site can only be visited and constructed in summer, due to severe winter weather.
Despite—or perhaps because of—the inaccessible nature of the site, the project entails designing an entire visitor environment ranging from a mountain lodge with restaurant and gallery to flood barriers, water cascades, bridges, and paths to outdoor furniture and pavilions and platforms meant for viewing the scenery.
All of these elements are molded into the landscape so that the visitor’s experience of place seems even more intimate. The architectural intervention is respectfully delicate, and was conceived as a thin thread that guides visitors from one stunning overlook to another.
The RRA project will enhance the experience of the Trollstigen plateau’s location and nature. Thoughtfulness regarding features and materials will underscore the site’s temper and character, and well-adapted, functional facilities will augment the visitor’s experience.
The architecture is to be characterised by clear and precise transitions between planned zones and the natural landscape. Through the notion of water as a dynamic element –from snow, to running and then falling water- and rock as a static element, the project creates a series of prepositional relations that describe and magnify the unique spatiality of the site.
