oslo - the new opera house - part V

the origami like sections of wall - wish i could have something like that at home!


the beautiful and well functioning hall...


the amazing coffee is made on the best (and most expensive?) coffee machine in the world... and it's pretty too:

and of course they have had their own porcelain designed! for the fancy receptions, i imagine:

and here, finally, is the snow clad mountain top that was the inspiration for the architects at Snøhetta, who did such an amazing job:

what it reminded me of? an iceberg. a giant of white ice floating on water, reflecting the colours of sea & sky.

Wow, what an amazing piece of architecture. Thanks kompostella for sharing this. I might consider visiting just to have a cup of coffee made in the pretty coffee maker!
