With its immediate proximity with the forces of nature, the restaurant, which will also function as a research center for marine life, is a tribute to the Norwegian coast and to Lindesnes \u2013 to the wild fauna of the sea and to the rocky coastline of Norway\u2019s southern tip.<\/p>\n<p>Under\u2019s namesake holds a double meaning: In Norwegian, \u201cunder\u201d can just as well be translated into \u201cwonder.\u201d Half-sunken into the sea, the building\u2019s monolithic form breaks the water surface to lie against the craggy shoreline. More than an aquarium, the structure will become a part of its marine environment, coming to rest directly on the sea bed five meters below the water\u2019s surface. With meter-thick concrete walls, the structure is built to withstand pressure and shock from the rugged sea conditions. Like a sunken periscope, the restaurant\u2019s massive acrylic windows offer a view of the seabed as it changes throughout the seasons and varying weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Through its architecture, menu and mission of informing the public about the biodiversity of the sea, Under will provide an under-water experience inspiring a sense of awe and delight, activating all the senses \u2013 both physical and intellectual.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/snohetta.com\/projects\/352-under\">https:\/\/snohetta.com\/projects\/352-under<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the southernmost point of the Norwegian coastline by the village of B\u00e5ly, Sn\u00f8hetta has designed Europe\u2019s very first underwater restaurant.
