Credo Pavilion / Fuse Arkitekter - NTNU

Credo Pavilion is situated in the backyard of the former Michelin-star restaurant Credo in Trondheim, Norway. The restaurant was highly dedicated to sustainability, local resources and traditional techniques, and was the first restaurant in the world to be awarded the Michelin Guide's Green Star for their sustainable practice. The project in Credo's backyard seeks to create a more open and inclusive area for neighbors and visitors, both physically and visually. This vision includes transforming the outdoor seating area into a welcoming enclave, designed to function as both a dining space and a service area. With an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship, the objective was to showcase visible building elements and exposed structures, that align with the overall aesthetics and functionality of the area. The projects’ clear lines showcase a complex structure in its most straightforward and seamless expression. This construction effortlessly integrates into the previously empty backyard, while also providing space for the broader community and activities beyond the restaurant.
