The new visitor center at Astruptunet serves as a cultural anchor conveying the legacy of Nikolai and Engel Astrup, its architecture modestly deferring to the surrounding cultural landscape. From the county road, the building presents as a prominent, elongated volume integrated into the terrain; approaching Astruptunet, it dissolves into a loosely clustered, turf-roofed structure echoing the historic farmstead. The main entrance aligns with the road level, while an eastern ramp resolves the height difference and connects to the lakeside path, completing a circular route while keeping views of Jølstravatnet unbroken. Excavated soil shapes turf embankments and a new path, while large stones mark the route between farmstead and center. The roof forms a paved, planted "tun" for outdoor programming. Inside, a flexible timber-framed hall houses café and exhibition functions, served by a rear core, with basement galleries reached via stair and lift. Largely embedded below grade, the building achieves strong thermal performance naturally, combining timber, low-carbon concrete, local stone, and glass with hybrid ventilation and blue-green roofs for a durable, timeless expression.
