Far Out Architecture | Kielder Observatory
Not far from Kielder Castle in Northumberland, England, you'll find a high-design, low impact observatory that combines modern form with mechanical function. A creation of London-based Charles Barclay Architects, the Kielder Observatory is designed to sit lightly on the earth and is powered by its own solar and wind derived energy.
