Snøhetta Launches Friluftssykehuset – the Outdoor Care Retreat

In the peaceful ambience of the forests only a short walking distance from two of Norway’s largest hospitals, Snøhetta has designed secluded wooden shelters aspiring to make hospitalization easier for patients and their families. Designed on behalf of the Friluftssykehuset Foundation, the first two Outdoor Care Retreats are located in vicinity to Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet and Sørlandet Sykehus Kristiansand in the South of Norway.

The space can be used for treatment and contemplation, and for spending time with relatives and friends away from the hospital corridors. The cabins are open to every patient connected to the hospitals regardless of disease group, and reservations are managed through a booking system.
