This movie by videographer Alejandro Villanueva explores the undulating wooden form of the Snøhetta-designed Reindeer Observation Pavilion and its setting in Norway's Dovre Mountains.

Completed in late 2011, the pavilion is a glass-fronted steel box. But inside, its features a rippled timber core constructed by Norwegian shipbuilders to match the surrounding topography.
Visitors to the pavilion can sit on the wooden form, where they are warmed by a suspended furnace.

Villanueva spent five days shooting the pavilion, which serves as an education centre for the Wild Reindeer Foundation.

His film, titled Snøhetta Viewpoint 4K, shows the approach route. It then explores both the inside and outside of the structure, using a time-lapse technique to show how it catches the light at different times of the day.

The completed movie consists of over 10,000 frames.

Snøhetta has offices in both Oslo and New York. While its American projects are bigger in profile ? ranging from the SFMOMA extension to the National September 11 Memorial Museum ? the studio has a number of acclaimed projects in Norway.
Other examples include the Oslo Opera House and the Petter Dass Museum.
