Fireplace Shelter in Norway

This absolutely beautiful, organically-shaped piece was designed and built for young children as a space for storytelling around a fire. (Kids play outside year-round in Norway.) The building blocks are re-used from another construction site and arranged in 80 circular stacks. More pics.

I really like the organic shape and that they’ve reused the material.
Just curious, don’t kids play outside year-round where you live? :)

Hi Daniel,
Of course– I live in sunny Southern California. But I grew up in the midwestern US where we had “indoor recess” if someone deemed it was too cold for us to play outside. I don’t generally see kids play structures and large bonfires mix. Do you?
