Last year I visited Oslo and saw the Opera House there.
The building has a glass facade with the internal structure clad in oak. The outermost spaces within this structure have narrow openings in flowing shapes, allowing visitors views out into the foyer and beyond to the surrounding harbour.
The lighting to these areas is provided by small square lights recessed into the outer wall close to the floor as well as concealed cove lighting to the top of the inner wall.
The sloping plaza around the building allows visitors to see into the building from many different angles, allowing them to appreciate the unusual geometry.
The building is particularly striking at night, when the lighting to the interior creates wedges of light in the sharply sloping surroundings.
