The project takes place in a former anti-atomic shelter. "Pionen – White Mountain" designed by Albert France-Lanord Architects is housed in a former 1,200 sqm Cold War bunker (originally built as a World War II bunker); an amazing location 30 meters down under the granite rocks of the Vita Berg Park in Stockholm. The client is the internet provider, the WikiLeaks Headquarters, and the rock shelter will host server halls and offices. The starting point of the project was to consider the rock as a living organism.
