On Greenland’s rugged coastal landscape, a twisted triangular structure offers a point from which to observe the area’s icebergs as well as a hub for residents and visitors alike.

Minimizing contact with the ground in order to allow natural surface run-off and protect the rich bedrock, a sequence of steel trusses adopts a streamlined form that prevents snow build-up on the walkable roof.

The building blends into a landscape considered a heritage of humanity thanks to its frozen beauty and the part it plays in the study of glaciers to understand how Earth was formed and address climate change.
