Most of this project is ground: new contours, a pond fed by the old wash plant, and 240 trees. The pavilion is the smallest part.
The site in Lillehammer set the terms before we drew anything. The gravel works left a bowl. We kept the bowl and let water find the bottom of it.
Paths follow the contours. The pavilion sits where the main path meets the pond.
We worked from a 1:50 model for most of the design stage and kept it on site through construction. Where the model and the drawings disagreed, the model usually won.
