Murman Arkitekter recently designed a cozy mountainside restaurant that sits at the top of a ski hill in northern Sweden. Taking advantage of the beautiful panoramic views, this restaurant provide a welcome reprieve for weary skiers.
The mountainside restaurant is called Björk and it is located at the top of Sweden's Hemavan ski resort. The restaurant is 350 square meters in size and it can seat up to 80 customers at a time. The two-story restaurant is shaped like a tent, with large windows surrounding the outside. This allows customers to take in the stunning views as they dine. The restaurant's menu consists of gourmet dishes made from local produce and drinks sourced from the nearby Lappish microbrewery.
While the restaurant features a distinct shape, its alpine-inspired design feels natural in the snowy setting.
