Favourite (interior) architecture project

One of my favourite interior architectural projects is the Oslo Opera House, renowned for its stunning exterior and interior architecture. The building's design allows visitors to walk on its sloping roof, providing an unparalleled experience and a panoramic view of the city.

I like this place because the interior design boasts a harmonious blend of natural materials, such as wood and stone, which create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Project's success lies in connecting people with the surrounding environment, fostering cultural engagement, and showcasing a perfect blend of form and function.
