"A lot of what we do is directly related to strong landscape situations,” says Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, a founding partner of Snøhetta. This is rather an understatement with respect to their latest completed project, the $8.1 million Under restaurant at Lindesnes, on Norway’s southern coast, which plunges 16½ feet beneath the waves, to allow diners to get up close and personal with marine life on the North Sea floor. Commissioned by hotelier brothers Stig and Gaute Ubostad (one of whom is a keen diver), Under was initially planned for a quayside site next to their Lindesnes Havhotell. But after Snøhetta came on board, it was moved to a nearby rocky bay to achieve the strongest possible connection to the ocean at its wildest.
