If the concept already exists in the Maldives and Dubai, it’s a great first in Europe. Named “Under”, this underwater restaurant opened today in Lindesnes, a village on the Norwegian coast. Snøhetta, Norway’s largest architectural firm, is at the helm of this extraordinary project. Partly immersed along a steep coastline, this thick concrete monolith is built to withstand pressure and weather and, above all, adapt to its environment. Housed in a glass room 5 meters deep in the North Sea, the 40-seat restaurant offers panoramic views of the underwater world for a total immersive experience. The site also houses a research center designed to raise public awareness of marine biodiversity.
