The new Swarovski Kristallwelten (Swarovski Crystal Worlds) do not just nourish the mind and spirit but also provide a tasteful (and tasty) ambience for gourmets. “Daniels. Café & Restaurant” serves international, regional, and most particularly seasonal cuisine and makes its own pastries; the Kristallbar (Crystal Bar) serves refreshing drinks in sparkling surroundings. What is so special here is the architectural atmosphere created by Snøhetta with its gently curved pillars and ceilings, light-colored surfaces, and materials set with Swarovski crystals that accentuate the light and sharpen individual perception. In the bright, light-filled pavilion, the guests feel as if they are sitting directly in the park, enjoying a variety of fresh delicacies and their view of nature no matter what the season. This area, too, offers an interesting audio play, which you can easily start by clicking on the link below.
Snøhetta is a norwegian firm for architecture, landscape design, interior design, and design, which is headquartered in Oslo, with branches in Innsbruck and New York. Their project portfolio includes the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion in New York, the new opera house in Oslo, the Norwegian Embassy in Berlin, and the new library in Alexandria, Egypt. Typically, Snøhetta’s projects are not defined by their visual appearance, but rather the effect of the building structure or of the space on the visitor. Among its many awards and distinctions, Snøhetta was the recipient of the 2009 Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture.
