This Norway cabin was designed as a minimalist, coastal escape

The location’s steep incline means residents can benefit from lengthy views of tree canopies and the ocean past; but it gave the architect a problem when it comes to the construction’s positioning and touchdown on the bottom. Berg opted for elevating the cabin on stilts, making a timber floating platform for it above the lot’s sloped terrain of strong rock. 

‘The summer time cabin is wrapped in regionally sourced spruce siding, impregnated with an natural wooden safety with gray color pigments,’ Berg writes. This provides it ‘a pure and weathered look from day one’.

The only-level house includes three volumes. One incorporates the principal bed room, a single bed room and the toilet; the second, an additional two visitor rooms; and the biggest hosts the open-plan residing areas. 

The minimalist interiors distinction with the outside of their lighter tones, and are principally clad in white-painted, horizontal wooden siding and white oiled spruce. This offers a nod to Norway’s conventional coastal constructions of this sort. 

The cabin’s picket pillars are matched by the deck’s cross-laminated timber beams – which proceed upwards to carry the roof, providing consistency in materials use all through. 

In the meantime, the strategically oriented, giant, orthogonal openings make sure the verdant setting turns into the principle protagonist in each keep. 

It is an intention additional underlined by the floorplan, conceived to create a wealthy ‘inside/outdoors’ relationship that feels of its place on this Norway cabin retreat.
