此次介绍的设计作品是由伦敦事务所Softroom完成设计。它坐落在一片开敞的草坪之上，金属镜面外皮让建筑超脱于自然环境，产生强力的对比，人们可以进入其中躲避糟糕的天气或者进行短暂的休憩。

这个建筑小品中有两个厚重的镜面墙体，可以反射周围的森林草坪等自然环境。厚重的墙体内部有一个金色的圆形的室内空间，在这个圆形空间的顶部还设计有一个彩色的天窗，柔和的日光可以通过彩色天窗而照射到建筑内部。

该建筑小品还有一个独特的入口设计，曲线凹陷的造型颠覆了一般传统建筑造型手法。正对着入口的地方放置了一个弧形的座椅，座椅上方的墙体上设置了一个条形的窗户，为使用者提供广阔的视野。

Outside, one is exposed to the elements, unsheltered, but attuned to the landscape. To enter the Kielder Belvedere and seek shelter is to be protected from the weather and be given precisely controlled, but seemingly unhindered visual experience of the world beyond.

Warm and dry, seated in a gently-lit drum, one is shielded from discomfort, free to contemplate the environment beyond. On approach from the park, two etched-steel mirror walls reflect the forest and flank a doorway set beneath a richly-coloured glass canopy. The triangular shelter is entered via its apex, through an apparently very thick wall. The curve of the door suggests what lies beyond; a golden circular chamber, lit by soft daylight filtering through a coloured skylight.

In the centre of the enclosure, a bench faces a single slot window in the far wall that offers a panoramic view of Kielder water. Owing to the curvature of the glazing and the sharply splayed window reveals, it is hard here to determine the thickness of the wall; the view in this way becoming an integral part of the surface of the drum. The 120 – degree band of vision contains the far horizon, the expanse of the reservoir and shoreline. The constantly changing weather sweeps by and there is the anticipation, observation and ultimate arrival of the ferry as it enters the frame.By contrast to the flat flank walls, the third face of the exterior has a dramatic convex mirror-polished stainless steel surface. The vista is drawn in as if by gravity towards the curved window and the viewer.
