Situated on the rocky shoreline of Ny-Hellesund, Norway, the Krabbebu Cabin is a simple yet thoughtfully designed holiday retreat that harmonizes with its rugged coastal landscape. Completed in 2022, the 47-square-meter cabin was designed by Oslo-based firm KIMA Arkitektur in collaboration with the owners, an internationally acclaimed furniture and product designer couple. Inspired by the aesthetic of local fishing huts, the cabin's minimal and modest silhouette is strategically placed among rocky outcrops to provide shelter from the elements. To maximize the small footprint for a family of five, the interior features an open-plan living room and kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The interior design, overseen by the client, incorporates custom-built kitchen furnishings to suit the compact space. The inside is clad entirely in pine wood, creating a warm, camp-like atmosphere that emphasizes the structure's materiality. The cabin is oriented toward the sea, with large windows providing expansive views of the water. A small outdoor deck and jetty further connect the residents with their surroundings, allowing for easy access to the water and coastal landscape. The exterior is also clad in pine wood, helping the cabin blend seamlessly into the Norwegian shore. The structure was built by local craftspeople, ensuring it reflects the regional building traditions.
