Editorial Review

Svart is an architectural masterpiece designed by Snøhetta. Suspended above the Holandsfjorden fjord at the foot of the Svartisen glacier, its circular shape provides 360-degree panoramic views of the Arctic nature. Built using sustainable wooden piles that extend into the sea bed, the structure is designed to generate more energy than it consumes, serving as a blueprint for carbon-neutral luxury tourism.
