I live in snefjord, and I have to say that the boxes themselves look allright, but the placement and functionality is horrible. only one of the 6 sitting spots are useful (towards the river, watching the flyfishers), and I have never seen anyone use the other ones. in dusk rain theyre useless, and if your party is larger than 2-3 ppl, then you cant talk to the others unless the rest are standing in front of a booth.
good looks? sure, but does not go well with the surrounding area. functionality? not one bit. The money spent to put these up would go a long way making something more practical AND good looking!

@awessendorf that OfficePod is a slick design and if you add one of these to the mix you’ve got a waiting area too – http://bit.ly/NCuzN

for me it much more interesting like social object than architectural. It’s great that community pay attention to such things. Architecture – yes it’s modern, but the form is too much contrasting to landscape and I do not see the reason why to do that. They serve to observe the nature, but not them:) The colouring is good. Function – I don’t thing that it’s nice to sit there then it rains

Oh, I would like so much to live and work in a country wich has enough sense and sensibility to finance such architectural pearls…

I think it could be transformable to a capsule for extream situations as an extra functionality. The form itself mention to that idea.

Those are really cool, both functionally and aesthetically.
