The Kielder Belvedere is a shelter for walkers in the Kielder National Park that also serves as a waiting point for the local ferry. The shelter was conceived as a circle inscribed within a truncated triangle.
Described by the RIBA as a ‘beautiful folly’, it is formed using stainless steel panels on a steel frame. Externally, these are curved and highly polished. Internally, they are etched with a gold surface and yellow laminated glass roof-light overhead.
