The project was developed on a limited budget, which was compensated by a long construction period involving friends and builders. The final design mimics the barn-like quality that the clients initially wanted to convert but could not find on the market. Following local building traditions, the exterior features plastered walls, built from lightweight concrete blocks, and a 45-degree gable roof clad in corrugated Aluzink steel sheets. The dimensions of the house and its openings were carefully planned to fit the size of the masonry blocks, minimizing material waste. Four large, 2.4x2m openings are arranged with rotational symmetry, one on each facade, giving the house a lack of hierarchy and treating all sides equally. Three of these are glazed doors, and one is a fixed window. The interior of HAMRA is one open space dominated by two plywood volumes that create areas for sleeping and play. All service functions, including technical equipment, water, and drainage, are organized along a narrow, 90cm-wide strip that runs through the house. Spatial elements like a kitchen, fireplace, stairs, storage, and bookshelves are also located along this strip. The furniture was largely assembled from salvaged or reused building materials. A corrugated steel ceiling and plastered walls give the interior an "outside but inside" quality, complemented by plywood-clad sections around two skylights. The kitchen features a 3.1x0.9-meter concrete bench with an integrated fireplace, cast in-situ, with cupboards made from remaining formwork plywood.

This Scandinavian-designed structure features a distinctive black timber exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring ample natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. With a total area of 32 m², the cabin accommodates up to four guests and includes heated floors throughout for comfort. Designed explicitly as an offline retreat, Hop Farm Beach is devoid of WiFi and television, encouraging guests to disconnect from digital distractions. A wooden box near the entrance provides a dedicated space for phones during stays, further promoting a focus on relaxation and mindfulness. The interior design emphasizes natural materials and minimal furnishings, creating a serene environment that fosters stillness and a deep connection to the forest. Large windows not only frame picturesque views of the pine trees but also ensure privacy, as the nearest neighbors are located over a kilometer away.

Completed in 2021, the small getaway cabin is located on a rock ledge on Åsberget mountain and offers a spectacular vista over the Ljusnan river valley. The name, meaning "South Loft," reflects its positioning. The structure is raised on slender pillars, a design choice that makes it appear to float among the surrounding treetops and balances the expansive landscape with a fine-tuned connection to the nearby forest. The 20-square-meter cabin consists of two main parts: a closed, heated living area and a large, open-air veranda that includes a covered viewing platform. The sheltered space features an extensive ceiling height of 4.5 meters, which provides an airy ambiance and allows for a smaller sleeping loft above the main living area. Inside, the design marries Nordic minimalism with Japanese-inspired aesthetics, using clean lines and light woods such as birch, fir, and heart pine. The flexible layout and minimal furnishings serve to emphasize the views of nature. A low wooden platform, for instance, can function as seating, a bed, or a space for yoga. To maximize its connection with the surrounding environment, the cabin's construction avoids plastics, and the walls and roof are insulated with flax fibers, a nod to traditional Nordic building methods. The Söderloftet stands as a serene and unobtrusive retreat, designed to help visitors escape a hectic life and find tranquility in nature.

Completed in 2011, the architects found an old, small barn for sale outside the town of Borlänge, in the province of Dalarna, and were drawn to its straightforward, logical structure. The derelict building was carefully dismantled and moved to a more advantageous location on an old pasture near the shores of Lake Hjälmaren, a few kilometers from Arboga. This process of deconstruction and relocation formed a central theme of the project, sparking an internal discussion within the firm about construction, architecture, and the underlying tectonic elements of building traditions. The design sought to build upon the rustic character of the original structure while adding contemporary elements. After being reassembled, the granary's timber frame was placed on a new concrete plinth foundation. A load-bearing wooden framework was then added between the 15th and 16th timber rows, allowing for a full-height upper floor. The exterior of the new additions was treated with the same red paint as the original elements, ensuring a cohesive look. Following the construction, the house was left to settle for a year before the interior finishes were added. The interior of the house was kept simple and spare, with materials chosen for their availability and price. Oak wood, harvested from the site, and plywood from a local building supplier were used for the internal finishes. The internal walls of the upper floor were designed as floor-height trusses, a structural decision that eliminated the need for supports on the ground floor, creating a completely open-plan space. The ground floor features an open kitchen and living area, while the upper floor contains two bedrooms. Windows are carefully integrated, with large openings in the original timber walls and narrow, vertical windows on the upper floor, matching the new structural framework. The layout and material choices emphasize a connection to Swedish architectural tradition and the straightforwardness of the original barn structure.

The house, completed in 2021, served as a prototype for a new housing model and later led to the creation of the company gimme shelter solutions, founded by Holmberg in 2018. The design consists of two separate wooden modules: a larger, 32-square-meter living unit and a smaller, 10-square-meter sleeping unit. These units are linked by a sheltered outdoor space, allowing for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor life. The project's aesthetic is influenced by traditional Swedish building methods, particularly the use of prefabricated parts to reduce cost, and by Japanese architecture, which emphasizes simplicity and a connection to nature. The modules feature wide verandas and large windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding forest, further blurring the line between the built and natural environment. The gimme shelter solutions company builds upon this initial project by offering a "Lego-like" system of prefabricated modular homes. Customers can combine various modules of different sizes to create a personalized, unique home that suits their needs and budget. This scalable approach allows homeowners to start small and expand their living space over time if their circumstances change. Beyond the standard living units, the company also offers specialized modules such as yoga studios, workshops, and saunas, all designed with sustainability in mind.

Completed in 2017, the hotel consists of a series of elevated wooden cabins designed to offer guests solitude and tranquility while minimizing their impact on the environment. Michelson, who also works for Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, was commissioned to create the cabins, which draw inspiration from traditional Swedish and Japanese design philosophies. The first cabin, known as Lofthuset ("the loft house"), was followed by the Söderloftet in 2021, and additional hideaways are planned. To reduce its visual impact and respect the landscape, each cabin is built on tall stilts that raise it above the ground and allow it to sway gently in the wind. This positioning gives guests a "high above the tree tops" view of the Ljusnan River valley below. The design is built around a concept of duality, with two contrasting spaces. The lower level of the 10-meter-tall structure is a compact, insulated space housing a combined living and sleeping area. This level features a wooden bench for resting and futon mattresses that can be hung on the wall to maximize space. Above, the upper level is an open-air deck with a gabled pinewood roof, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery and functioning as a peaceful vantage point. The cabins are constructed using a palette of natural materials. The exterior is clad in heart-pine and spruce wood, allowing the structures to blend into the forest, while the interior features pale birch plywood and ash. Following Nordic building traditions, the walls are insulated with flax fibers. With their minimalist and raw interiors, the cabins are designed to remove unnecessary noise and focus attention on the expansive natural landscape.

Completed in 2022, the private weekend retreat is located within the coastal Tjurpannan Nature Reserve in western Sweden. The area is known for its austere, windswept character, and the design takes inspiration from local vernacular architecture, specifically the boathouses and jetties found in the region. The architects conceived of the cabin as a simple, rustic, and flexible base for outdoor activities. The house was built with a low-profile and dark, natural colors to help it blend into the surrounding landscape. All the exterior timber was treated with tar, a traditional preservation method that provides a beautiful matte black finish and recalls the aesthetics of the nearby boathouses. The structure is raised off the ground on concrete piers anchored directly into the rock. This approach minimizes the cabin's environmental impact on the rocky terrain and protects it from the risk of flooding. An old stone wall on the property leads to a natural path that guides visitors toward the entrance. Inside, the house continues its minimalist and rustic aesthetic. The interior is also clad in wood, but stained a dark brown to frame the nature outside. The spatial organization is derived from a structural grid of standard wooden elements, which allows for visual connections between rooms. Full-height windows and glass doors provide stunning views of the coastal reserve and offer access to narrow decks. A large canopy extends from the house, creating a sense of horizontality that anchors the structure in its context and protects the terrace from the elements.

This type of small, detached structure is a Swedish typology that does not require a full building permit, allowing homeowners to add additional space for purposes such as guesthouses, home offices, or rental units. Situated at the edge of a residential property, the guesthouse frames the garden between the main house and natural rock formations, creating a secluded and intimate space. The design is a thoughtful blend of Scandinavian minimalism and natural materials. The exterior is clad in untreated heart pine, nailed with dome-headed stainless steel nails, and left to naturally age and blend into its surroundings. The windows are made of oiled oak, and the roof and gutters are zinc, adding a durable and modern touch. The interior palette mirrors the exterior with a pine floor, a pine kitchen, and an oak countertop, creating a cohesive and minimalist aesthetic. The compact layout includes two rooms, a bathroom, and a loft accessed by a ladder, which provides additional sleeping or storage space. The bedroom faces south, while the living room and kitchen are oriented east and north, maximizing natural light throughout the day. The result is a versatile and inviting living space that functions as both a guesthouse for family and friends and a studio during the summer months.

Designed by Krupinski/Krupinska Arkitekter, the small house was created for a family of two adults and two children who needed more space, as the original summer house on the site had become too small. Situated on a former gardener's plot, the design respects the site's history and integrates with existing rock formations and greenery. To accommodate the family's needs within the small footprint, the architects designed a single large square room with a freestanding central volume. This core volume efficiently incorporates a kitchen, storage, and four beds into its design. The open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides create a surprisingly spacious feeling and provide a strong connection to the surrounding nature. Sliding glass walls can be opened during summer, extending the living space outdoors and allowing for a pleasant breeze to flow through the house. The color palette is deliberately dark for both the exterior and interior, enhancing the building's intimate character and directing focus toward the picturesque views. The exterior is clad in black Falu Rödfärg, a traditional Swedish color, allowing the house to recede into the forest. The single door leads to the bathroom, a separate volume adapted to fit into a gap in the nearby rock formation, which further maximizes interior space. The house was nominated for the Private House Prize in 2016 by the Swedish Association of Architects.

The house, with its striking triangular profile, was conceived as a "treehouse for adults" and is nestled between a forest and a cow pasture, with panoramic views toward a nearby lake. To maximize the benefits of its scenic location, the house features three distinct levels, with a bay window on each to frame different views and create a sense of discovery as one climbs the internal stairs. The open-plan, split-level design creates a hierarchy of spaces, from the more communal living room and kitchen on the ground floor to the more intimate sleeping areas on the upper levels. The top-floor bedroom is designed to feel like a sleeping nest under the stars. A playful and interactive element of the design is the steeply inclined facade, which serves as a climbing wall, complete with a rope hanging from the peak of the roof for access. A large timber deck extends from the front of the house, offering additional living space with swings and lounges. The house was built entirely from wood, with a frame of wooden beams forming the A-frame structure. The exterior is clad in Swedish pine treated with a grey-hued pigmented wood protection from SiOO:X on the gables and a green "forest" colored treatment on other sides to help it blend with the woodland. Inside, the walls, ceiling, and floors are lined with birch plywood salvaged from a dismantled puzzle factory, and custom-built furniture was crafted from plywood to suit the split-level design.

Designed by LLP Arkitektkontor, the house sits on a field surrounded by open plateaus and meadows, situated between the Baltic Sea and a historic 15th-century mansion. The design is a modern interpretation of the area's agricultural architecture, featuring a barn-like facade and gabled roof. The house was constructed with a larch wood facade and a roof of fiber cement boards, materials chosen to reflect its rural setting. An upper terrace provides commanding views of the Baltic Sea, and large sliding glass doors connect the interior with a covered outdoor entrance space. To provide security during the winter and shade in the summer, the house is equipped with larch shutters. The interior features a high-ceilinged, open-plan space with a fireplace, with the ground floor designed to offer deep sightlines through the building. A staircase leads to the upper floor, which includes open bookshelves and additional living and bedroom spaces. The floor is made of solid wood, with the entrance featuring an exposed concrete foundation slab.

Instead of a single, large structure, the design is composed of several small, interconnected timber volumes, each with a distinct purpose, such as a bedroom unit, a communal living area, or a reading room. This clustered arrangement is a modern interpretation of local settlement patterns and allows for flexible expansion with additional units in the future. The house stands on a continuous concrete platform that also serves as the interior flooring, echoing Gotland's characteristic limestone bedrock. The exterior is clad in solid larch wood boards, a regional tradition, which will naturally weather from a golden brown to a silver-grey color over time. Inside, the walls are covered in birch plywood, which provides a warm and inviting contrast to the bare concrete floor. The interiors are characterized by an austere minimalism, with storage and furniture seamlessly integrated into the walls to emphasize the simple intersecting surfaces. Large, frameless windows and a sliding door create carefully framed views of the surrounding field, fostering a sense of continuity between the house and the natural landscape.

The area is part of a national park, characterized by rounded, wind-worn granite rocks and leaning trees. As part of a larger family compound with other houses dating back to the 1950s, the new additions were built for one of the sons and his family and a smaller house for his parents, who have summered in the area for generations. The designs draw inspiration from the rugged landscape and the contrast between the tough climate and the relaxed atmosphere of a summer retreat. Both houses are raised on stilts, leaving the ground and rocks underneath untouched, creating a sense of floating above the terrain. Outdoor bridges and platforms, suspended from the facade, extend the living space around the houses. The simple, timber-framed structures are covered in a maintenance-free mineral facade in a shade of gray similar to the rocks, while the rounded, barrel-vaulted roofs echo the shape of the weathered surroundings. The main house features a simple floor plan, with a large, open living room and kitchen area facing the ocean and a more private rear section containing bedrooms and the entrance. Large sliding glass doors in the main living space allow for an open connection to the outdoors, seamlessly blending interior and exterior spaces. Inside, the walls are paneled with untreated fir, creating a warm, natural aesthetic. In the evening, the low western sun catches the interior fir, making the house appear as a ""glowing eye-catcher"" from the sea.

Conceived by architect Peter Sahlin in 2005 for his own family, the design is a modern interpretation of a traditional local barn. It has since been replicated for other clients seeking a simple, compact, and comfortable escape in a mountainous setting. The project's aesthetic is defined by a modest and modern approach, with a focus on functional design suited for cold climates. The exterior of the cabin features an ebony-stained clapboard facade that helps it blend into the surrounding woods. The design is deliberately understated, with clean lines that recall the classic barn shape. This simple form makes the lodge's prefabricated construction practical for delivery and assembly in remote locations. Inside, the design contrasts the dark exterior with a warm, natural material palette. The interior is clad in unfinished plywood, complemented by gray industrial kitchen cabinets, creating a balance of ruggedness and modern polish. The lodge was initially developed for Sahlin's personal use, highlighting its practical and personal origins. The design's success led to its subsequent production for other urban professionals who desired a quiet, modern vacation home that could withstand the harsh conditions of the Swedish fells. The prefabricated units are constructed off-site and delivered to their destination, a process that simplifies construction in the challenging mountain environment.

The project merges traditional regional architecture with contemporary elements to create a distinctive, nature-focused experience for guests. Completed in 2020, Synvillan offers visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get close to wildlife without disturbing the natural environment. The villa is elevated on pillars, floating four meters above a feeding area for animals in the wildlife park. Its exterior features a striking combination of materials: a thatched roof, inspired by traditional architecture in the Blekinge area, sits atop walls covered in polished, patterned steel plates. This mirrored, dimpled surface reflects the surrounding sky and forest, giving the structure the surreal appearance of almost disappearing into its environment, true to its name. The design is a study in contrasts, juxtaposing the rustic charm of a thatched roof with the high-tech, reflective cladding. Inside, the 50-square-meter accommodation provides a cozy and immersive stay for up to four guests. The two-room unit features a living area, kitchenette, and a furnished terrace. A highlight is the transparent glass floor panel in the living room, which allows visitors to observe animals like European bison, red deer, mouflon, and wild boar feeding directly beneath them. The interiors are lined with pale wood and punctuated with playful, vibrant colors on the ceiling. Despite the lack of running water, the villa is powered by solar energy and gas and includes a modern incineration toilet. Access to the elevated cabin is via a long wooden staircase.

The 20-square-meter structure is situated on the remote island of Trossö, off the west coast of Sweden, and was commissioned by a private client who spends summers there. As there are no roads on the island, all materials for the cabin were transported by boat and carried by hand. The cabin's design is minimalist and functional, created as a secluded retreat with a focus on its natural surroundings. The brief from the client was for ""a room with a view of the sea,"" and the design delivers on this with two large windows framing the distinctive, windswept landscape of the ocean on one side and pine trees on the other. A large sliding glass door effectively doubles the living area when opened, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The cabin was constructed with minimal impact on the environment, raised off the ground to sit lightly on the plot. Its exterior features Swedish spruce, painted with a matte black finish, a color choice that references the vernacular architecture of local fishing cabins. The interior has a more natural feel, with Swedish spruce flooring and plywood-clad walls and ceilings. The pitched roof provides a generous internal volume, and the compact space includes a sauna and a living/bedroom area for two people.

Completed in 2024, the cabin is set on a granite clearing amid a landscape of pines, rocks, and meadow grass. The design draws inspiration from the studio founders' own home, Villa Ellsinger, and was conceived as a modest structure that ""grows upwards"" to maximize its small footprint and address the harsh coastal climate of wind, rain, and salt spray. The house is oriented on a north-south axis, with a largely closed-off northern facade to shield it from neighbors and a nearby county road, while opening up with large windows to the south and east to capture sun and views of the forest and fields. The structure is a standout on its rural plot, topped with a distinctive, steep, hat-shaped roof and gables clad in untreated aluminum sheeting for durability. A cantilevered canopy extends from the structure, providing a covered entrance. To create a spacious, unobstructed internal volume, the roof loads are transferred to a horizontal glue-laminated timber frame that sits atop the exterior walls, visible from the outside. Inside, the walls are clad in warm, untreated pine, which contrasts with the red tiles on the kitchen floor. The interior features bespoke furniture and an open-plan living and kitchen area with a high ceiling. An oversized bookshelf serves multiple functions as a room divider, storage, and structural support for the loft, which contains a children's sleeping area, a sofa bed, and a workspace. A custom-built wood-burning stove is also incorporated within the bookshelf. Maritime-themed circular prisms in the front door and loft windows nod to the cabin's seaside location and spread light into the entryway.

Completed around 2014, the house was a response to a housing market that Carlsson saw as being dominated by expensive, aesthetically stagnant prefab villas. The 110-square-meter home features a geometric, asymmetrical volume with a roof of varying pitches, clad in corrugated galvanized iron to reduce costs. This angular form is mirrored inside with a series of angled plywood surfaces and spaces. The design is based on a modular frame system of self-supporting laminated plywood sandwich panels, which allows for fast and affordable factory construction. Inside, the house showcases the raw plywood material extensively, creating a warm and minimalist feel. An angular staircase connects the ground floor, which includes the living, dining, and kitchen areas, with the upper floor, which contains three bedrooms. One of Carlsson's goals was to question conventional living, challenging notions of necessary living space and promoting affordability. The modular construction and the ability to expand the living area as needed were also central to the design.

Constructed from ThermoWood pine, which is known for its robustness and durability, the cabin can function as a mobile home, a garden office, or a wilderness retreat. Its compact size, measuring 6 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high, means it can be moved easily on a flatbed truck or a custom trailer. The design is unique for its frameless construction, where four inner wall segments support the outer ThermoWood walls. This method reduces the amount of material, assembly time, weight, and cost. For the roof, durable and easy-to-install asphalt shingles are used. Large panorama windows in the bedroom and smaller operable windows in the kitchen and bathroom blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and create a feeling of openness in the 14-square-meter space. The NATURE POD can be customized with various features, including a kitchen and bathroom for full self-sufficiency. Off-grid living is possible with the addition of solar panels for electricity, a dry toilet, and water tanks. For heating in colder climates, options include radiators, floor heating, or a wood stove. The interior has a minimalist, natural aesthetic, with the option to customize exterior and interior colors and finishes.

Completed in 2013, the design is centered on encouraging an intimate connection with nature by requiring residents to step outside to move between different living areas. The house offers a modern take on the traditional Swedish summer cottage, with a decentralized layout that has gained particular relevance for its innovative approach to small-scale living. The project is conceptualized as a "mini village" where three cabins of varying sizes are arranged in close relation to one another on a shared wooden deck. The dark, strong exterior and light, simple interior are designed to harmonize with the surrounding pine forest and the rocky terrain of Norrtälje, Sweden. Exterior: The facades are clad in a dark, phenol-coated plywood, typically used for forming concrete, which gives the cabins a distinctive, weather-resistant finish. The doors, also dark and industrial, are made from the same metal sheeting used for the roofs. Interior: In contrast to the tough exterior, the interiors are bright, warm, and serene, clad entirely in white-waxed birch plywood. The attention to detail is evident in the seamless, custom-built furniture and aligned wood joints, which give the space the feel of a meticulously crafted object. The three buildings serve distinct purposes: Main Cabin: The largest of the three contains an open-plan living room, kitchen, bedroom, and dining area, all centered around a wood-burning stove. Mid-size Cabin: The second building houses a study and a guest room. Smallest Cabin: The third cabin is used for storage but was designed to be flexible enough to be converted into a bathroom if needed.

Completed in 2016 by bark arkitekter, the project breathed new life into a 50-year-old cottage, originally designed in 1961 by architect Atle Sørby. The renovation successfully balanced the building's historical integrity with the functional demands of modern living. The house sits on a relatively flat plot surrounded by the distinctive landscape of the region, featuring long sloping fields, beaches, and dunes separated by old drystone walls. Its proximity to the shoreline places it within a landscape-preservation area, which meant the architects worked closely with local authorities during the building process. The architectural approach involved respecting the original design while modernizing the interior and expanding the living space. The cottage's original pitched roof with pulled-down gables, a reinterpretation of the traditional "Jærhus" typology, was preserved. This design is crucial for withstanding the harsh local weather conditions. To maintain this connection to the past, local craftsmen carefully removed, stored, and re-laid the original roof tiles, which were sourced from local brick factories. The renovation involved a strategic reorganization of the interior space. The walls and ceiling of the main volume were opened up to create a single large, open-plan common area. This space now accommodates the living, dining, and kitchen functions, creating a bright and expansive atmosphere. A new 88 m² annex was constructed to house private functions. This addition includes a bedroom, a bathroom, and a storage room, allowing for a clearer separation of public and private zones within the home. Large glass windows were installed to maximize natural light and offer the homeowners uninterrupted views of the surrounding coastal scenery. The interior features a minimalist, no-frills aesthetic, with a neutral color palette and light timber finishes creating a calm and functional living space. The architects focused on simple, high-quality materials to complement the building's modest scale.

Overlooking the Granasjøen lake, the structure serves as a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Norwegian gapahuk, or lean-to. It was designed in close collaboration with the client to serve a range of purposes, including a shelter, summer house, bath house, or grill shed. The cabin's design is heavily influenced by its surrounding landscape. The angled walls and roof help the small building blend seamlessly into the rugged, mountainous environment. A traditional turf roof provides insulation and further integrates the structure with the landscape by mimicking the natural greenery. The exterior is clad in dark brown stained wood, which was chosen to complement the existing main cabin on the property. Inside, the cabin is designed for both relaxation and appreciation of the outdoors. Large, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on the front facade can be opened up, blurring the line between inside and out and offering expansive views of the lake and mountains. A built-in wood bench wraps around two sides of the room, providing ample seating that faces the view. A small, built-in fireplace adds warmth and a cozy focal point. The interior features simple wood finishes and stone flooring that continues out onto the terrace.

Designed by Austrian architect Elisabeth Dirnbacher of Atelier Dirnbacher and completed in 2022, the 65 m² retreat offers a striking contrast of robust exteriors against a cozy and warm interior. Nestled between the vast Austnesfjord and the imposing Higravstinden, the cabin is a destination for families, couples, and nature lovers seeking to immerse themselves in the dramatic arctic scenery. The architecture is defined by a simple, cubature form that plays with the dimensions of the surrounding environment. Architect Elisabeth Dirnbacher was inspired by a summer trip to the region and aimed to create a unique holiday house that would complement the astonishing beauty of the islands. The black-stained, timber-framed cabin is designed to blend into the dark, mountainous landscape, while its interior opens up to provide a luxurious and immersive experience of nature. The interior of the Black Aurora Nook is a showcase of handcrafted woodwork and clever spatial design. The cabin is divided into two rectangular areas, but features varied ceiling heights ranging from two to five and a half meters, creating an exciting spatial experience. The main living space includes an open kitchen and a cozy sitting area with a wood-burning stove. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a widescreen view of the fjord, the open sea, and the mountain. A staircase from the master bedroom leads to a gallery with a window bench, perfect for observing the northern lights or sea eagles. A second sleeping gallery for children is accessible by a ladder. Untreated wood, handcrafted by a local carpenter, is used throughout the cabin for wall paneling, built-in furniture, and a three-meter-high sliding door that can separate the dining room and master bedroom. The cabin was designed as a high-performance timber-framed construction with sustainability in mind. Comfort in the cold: Despite the harsh northern climate, the cabin is kept comfortable with a wood-burning stove and underfloor heating in the sleeping areas. The minimalist design, coupled with the natural weathering of the timber, helps the cabin settle naturally into its remote surroundings.

Designed by Oslo-based Hamran/Johansen Arkitekter and completed in 2014, the cabin provides a comfortable and spacious accommodation for a large family with a total of nine beds, despite its modest footprint. The design was a creative response to the challenge of accommodating many people on a tight budget. The architects cleverly limited the net floor area to 50 m² to comply with Norwegian building codes, which impose additional technical demands on larger cabins. The solution involved utilizing the space beneath the pitched roof, where the low ceiling height does not legally count as floor area. This loft space was ideally suited for sleeping quarters. The cabin presents a contemporary take on a traditional form, with its classic pitched roof complemented by the use of extra-wide wooden cladding and large windows. The exterior cladding is made from glulam panels treated with natural pine tar, which will weather over time to blend with the natural surroundings. The interior is functional and minimalist, featuring exposed timber framing and knot-free pine paneling. The ground floor is constructed from in-situ cast concrete, which follows the natural terrain and defines the transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The loft space, measuring just 14 m², cleverly accommodates three single beds and two double beds. An additional double bed is located in a bedroom on the ground floor. To maximize light and create an immersive experience, the windows reach to the ceiling on the upper section, while their height variations at the bottom are strategically aligned with specific functions and views. A large window band offers panoramic mountain views in nearly every direction. A minimalist, cantilevered staircase with thin steel plates provides access to the loft, and an open steel grating on the upper level filters light from a skylight, emphasizing the cabin's verticality. The design draws on the features of a previous, dilapidated family cabin from 1942 that was on the same site, reinterpreting elements like its corner windows and exterior cladding.

Designed by Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk with his team, the 25-square-meter project successfully blends the rehabilitation of the old timber structure with a new, contemporary addition. The design is a sensitive and sophisticated response to the site's stunning yet demanding coastal climate, characterized by spectacular mountains and harsh winds. The original concept involved encasing the weathered timber core within a new protective shell, allowing the old house to stand freely inside. While this initial plan was modified, the final result still features a distinct and respectful relationship between the old and new elements. The built project focuses on the renovation of the existing house and the construction of a westward extension. The addition acts as a "pure extension," echoing the geometrical principles of the original structure, notably its asymmetrical dormer windows, which allow light into the loft and frame views of the landscape. To withstand the extreme wind conditions of the area, the structures are anchored using different methods. The pre-existing Nordlandshus is secured to the ground with guy wires, while the new prefabricated pine glulam extension is wind-anchored to an encompassing concrete slab, which provides a stabilizing counterweight. This structural duality highlights the architects' adaptive and thoughtful approach to construction in a challenging environment. The material palette chosen for the Summer House Gravråk is both humble and resilient, allowing the building to integrate with its natural surroundings. The addition is clad in untreated spruce, a material selected to develop a natural, gray patina over time as it is exposed to sun and rain. The roof is covered with standing seam zinc roofing, offering durability against the elements. The interior features birch plywood cladding and pine flooring, providing a warm and modern finish. The windows are a two-fold design, with aluminum frames on the exterior for protection and wood on the interior to match the warm timber finishes. An artwork titled "this must be the place" by Swedish artist Jan Håfstrøm is integrated into the design, adding a unique and personal touch.

The project involved replacing a smaller, traditional 1950s cabin with a more functional, modern holiday home. Architect Eirik Rønning Andersen of ZIS AS designed the new cabin, drawing inspiration from the area's older architectural traditions. The design uses traditional building methods, featuring white-painted batten cladding and a roof pitch similar to historical buildings in the region. The roof eaves are minimal, giving the structure a clean, contemporary appearance. A key feature of the house is the strategic placement of windows to create visual connections, maximize views, and allow natural light to fill the interiors. This intentional use of light makes the interior feel expansive and spacious. Inside, the home is characterized by light-colored wood, creating a warm, airy atmosphere. In contrast, the kitchen features dark, lacquered benches and cabinets. The interior space is divided into different levels by a series of steps, with a raised living area situated above the bedrooms and bathroom. The main living space extends the full length of the cabin, stretching from gable to gable. The design also incorporates several custom-built details, including a site-specific staircase connecting the different levels and slatted wooden sections that add screening and depth.

The project balances endurance with economy, blending old craftsmanship with minimalist interventions. The boathouse, a historic feature of Norwegian coastal culture, was originally built using locally gathered moraine stones. Surnevik's design retains the integrity of the original structure, with local masons repairing and reinforcing the dry-laid stone walls rather than replacing them. A key aspect of the design is the juxtaposition of the ancient stone foundation with a new, contemporary superstructure. This new volume mirrors the traditional local boathouse typology, with a low roof pitch and a lack of overhangs, a feature shaped by the harsh coastal climate. The exterior of the new upper volume is clad in matte black oxidized zinc, a durable material that weathers gracefully over time and stands in quiet contrast to the textured stone base. The interior, built primarily from spruce and pine, offers a simple, warm, and natural atmosphere. The space is guided by clean openings and simple spans, with furniture crafted from the same pine to maintain a consistent aesthetic. The project integrates the functionality of both a working boathouse and a holiday home, honoring the past while meeting contemporary needs. Surnevik's approach highlights a careful and thoughtful dialogue between the pre-existing structure and the modern additions, resulting in a building that is both a reflection of the past and a beacon for the future of coastal architecture.

It is located in Nissedal, a municipality in the Telemark region of Norway, on the banks of Lake Nisser. Commissioned by Smarte Hytter AS, a local cabin developer, the project was intended as a sustainable and compact alternative to the trend of large, luxurious holiday homes that are common in Norway. The architects' ultimate goal is to develop a floating version of the cabin, but due to local planning restrictions on Lake Nisser, the prototype was built on stilts on the shore. The design of the cabin maximizes the user's connection to the surrounding landscape. A large, glazed facade between the main living area and a covered terrace blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space, creating a seamless link to the lake and landscape. The exterior is clad in thermally treated pinewood, a sustainable and chemical-free material that gives the cabin a natural, integrated feel within its environment. This exterior cladding also has integrated gutters and downpipes, which creates clean, expressive facades. The compact, 26-square-meter floor plan includes a small mezzanine loft for sleeping, with a total capacity to accommodate up to seven people. The module is connected to electricity, water, and sewage via a flexible pipe that enters from beneath, a system designed to be compatible with a future floating version.

Located in a barren moorland landscape of weather-beaten dwarf birches and heathers, the project was created for a multigenerational family to better accommodate holiday gatherings. Rather than mimicking the traditional log cabin, the architects opted for a contemporary timber-clad structure featuring a dramatic, stepped roof. This design is both a visual contrast to the older building and a clever functional element. The 17-meter-long extension is connected to the original cabin by a glass hallway that houses a wardrobe and a utility sink. This transparent corridor provides a seamless transition and fills the connecting space with natural light. The exterior of the extension is clad with untreated ore-pine, a durable material traditionally used for medieval stave churches in Scandinavia. The colorful window and door frames offer a playful touch and are inspired by the marks used on Norwegian hiking trails. The distinctive triangular shape of the cabin serves a functional purpose by creating turbulence, which prevents snow from piling up on the south-facing terrace. The stepped roof, which has 30 steps from top to bottom, is one of the cabin's most celebrated features. During the summer, it functions as a viewing platform, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding moorlands and a nearby lake. In winter, when covered in a thick layer of snow, the roof becomes a natural ski and sledding ramp, a playful nod to the legendary Norwegian skier Sondre Norheim. Inside, the cabin features a single, minimalist, double-height space lined with wood. This open-plan interior is meant to be a versatile and simple "landscape" for the family to use for various activities, from relaxing to working. The interior's minimalism is intentional, encouraging spontaneous living that will add character to the space over time. Nooks around the edges serve as cozy reading corners, while a ladder leads to a ceiling-height mezzanine. The cabin effectively functions as an "inhabitable beacon," a modern peak that allows its inhabitants to engage with the stunning Hardangervidda landscape.

Created primarily for use during the winter cross-country skiing season, the cabin is elevated off the ground and is designed to take in views of the soft hills, lakes, and low winter sun toward the southern horizon. The design is conceived as a "thick house," with secondary spaces serving as a form of insulation between the exterior and the interior core. This core is a two-story central space that functions like a small urban piazza and is filled with light from the sides and above. This central area features varied ceiling heights, ranging from smaller, cave-like children's beds to a high-ceilinged common room. Natural light is filtered into this central space through the surrounding secondary rooms. The materials and color palette reflect traditional housing in the area: a black-stained wooden shell and a light-wood interior. The timber construction features substantial insulation, with walls insulated to 15 cm, floors to 20 cm, and the roof to 25 cm. Wooden panels are used for cladding both the interior and exterior, and the roof is covered with wooden panels over a membrane. Interior fittings and the kitchen are custom-designed by the architects, using pine plywood. Pine and fir were used for both the cladding and construction. The bathroom and hallway floors are finished with limestone, and a plastered masonry fireplace provides warmth.

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.

Surrounded by pine forests, the residence is a contemporary interpretation of coastal living, respecting both the landscape and the area's architectural heritage. The house features a bi-level structure, with its lower level partially submerged into the bedrock, a technique that minimizes the visual impact of the building and anchors it firmly to the cliffside. The main living floor sits perched on the cliff top, offering expansive and direct views of the Baltic Sea. This elevated position allows the house to feel protected yet completely connected to the dramatic coastal environment. The exterior is clad in spruce and painted with traditional linseed-oil paint, a nod to the 19th-century buildings characteristic of the region. This choice of material and finish helps the villa blend into its surroundings and weathers gracefully over time. Inside, the design creates a strong visual link between the interior and the rugged, natural surroundings. Large glass walls frame the dramatic landscape, bringing the sea and forest views directly into the living spaces. The interior palette is a mix of white and wood, complemented by unique details that reference the natural world. For instance, leaf-green floor tiles at the entrance mirror the surrounding pine forests, while rocks from the site itself are incorporated into both the interior and exterior. The living, dining, and kitchen areas feature retro-style furniture, adding a touch of character and warmth to the contemporary shell. A flat roof over the submerged lower level is topped with a wooden deck and balustrades, creating a large, sheltered terrace accessible from the main living area. Above the upper floor, a gabled, zinc-covered roof provides robust protection against the area's often harsh wind and sea spray.

Completed in 2016, the project converted an old building with a simple cellar and ten small rooms into a functional, airy cabin that offers stunning views of the fjord and mountain landscape. The design philosophy centered on retaining the traditional exterior appearance facing the road and village, while opening up the structure to the scenery on the other side. The original building featured a mix of materials, including wood, stone, and corrugated iron. Rever & Drage incorporated this eclectic feel into the new design, adding large glass panels to the south-east wall. This created unobstructed views from the kitchen, sitting, and dining areas. A long window was also added in the loft-style bedroom, allowing for picturesque views when lying in bed. To create a more open and modern living space, most of the interior partitions were removed. The loft and ground floor were combined into a single, open space, while the bedroom was the only room to be preserved. Functional updates were also made, including a tiled area with underfloor heating to dry wet shoes and an insulating wind membrane in the walls to improve heat retention. The existing corrugated iron roof was covered with a new wooden roof. On the west side, a simple covered shelter was added to the original facade, providing a dry space for equipment and creating an additional outdoor area.

The project is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Norwegian cabin architecture, with the design blending traditional timber-framing methods with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The design of Tømmertempelet is a playful response to the "artificially traditional" winter cabins that have become common in the area. The architect aimed to create a structure that felt both deeply rooted in local tradition and also difficult to place in a specific time or context. The cabin features a strong, solid pine timber structure that is exposed on the inside and outside, becoming the building's central aesthetic feature. The main volume is lifted off the ground on concrete spot foundations, which adapt to seasonal weather and the sloping landscape. The cabin is clad with high-grade fir from a local sawmill, with an accordion-like panel on the second floor adding a dynamic element that interacts with light. The interior features pine walls and spruce floors treated with hardwax oil, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Custom-built furniture in ash was also used. Most of the cabin was built with locally sourced materials, and wood pulp was used for insulation. The cabin is composed of two main volumes: Main Volume: This area contains a double-height living room that opens to the outdoors, a kitchen, and a sleeping loft. A diagonal line cuts through the interior, making the space feel larger than its compact size. Smaller Volume: This section contains the bathroom and toilet. The cabin’s bathroom contains a custom, rich-green aluminum sitting tub, which, according to the architect, suggests a small forest pond when filled with water. The placement of the high windows allows morning and evening light to dramatically enter the space, creating a sense of natural tranquility.

Conceived by local couple Henrik and Lene Stokkeland, and brought to life by architect Manuela Hardy, the project aimed to create a sanctuary that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing the connection to nature. Its name, Trekronå, translates to "tree crown," reflecting its design inspiration drawn from the forest's canopy. The design for the 15 square meter (161 square foot) cabin was a collaboration between the architect and the clients, driven by a mutual fascination for playful design and childhood dreams of forest cabins. The geometric shape and timber cladding are inspired by pinecones and the surrounding pine forest. The structure is lifted off the ground on three tilted steel legs, built on a hexagonal metal base frame. This allows the cabin to be removed almost without a trace, and the stilts minimize interference with the terrain. A focus on using local materials and details was maintained throughout the build. The exterior is clad in Accoya, a rot-resistant, pine-based product, while the interior features elegant oak finishes. Despite its tiny footprint, the cabin is designed to accommodate up to five people with a functional kitchen, sleeping bunks, a shower room, and a sitting area with views of the woods. The construction of Trekronå became a collaborative, hands-on effort. Client Henrik Stokkeland, a trained carpenter, took an active role in the build. When he sustained an injury, the project continued with the help of numerous volunteers from the community. This community-driven spirit is part of what makes the cabin so special. The project was completed in 2021. Since its completion, the cabin has received significant acclaim, winning the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture in 2022. Visitors can now rent the cabin for a memorable escape and enjoy the nearby sauna and spa area, also designed by Manuela Hardy.

Commissioned to create an efficient and resilient cabin, the firm responded to the site's challenging conditions and strict local building regulations by creating a design that is both practical and iconic. The central design challenge came from the high altitude, harsh weather, and strict local regulations, which dictate specific requirements for materials, roof pitch (22–27 degrees), and window sections. Rather than viewing these limitations as obstacles, head architect Grethe Løland used them as a source of creative inspiration, stating, "Limitations are the mother of all playful creativity". The cabin's defining characteristic is its large, protective hood-like roof, which shelters the entrance and the main facade from the elements. The roof is clad in ore pine paneling, which stands in geometric contrast to the main black-painted timber body of the cabin. The exterior features a mix of black and natural pine, creating a strong visual identity that stands out in the otherwise traditional landscape. The clean, angular lines give the cabin a modern, sculptural feel, even while adhering to strict traditional building codes. Large, sectioned windows on the front facade frame magnificent views of the surrounding lake and mountains, connecting the interior with the rugged landscape. Despite its rugged exterior, the interior of the 66-square-meter cabin (plus a 7-square-meter attic) is cozy and efficiently designed to accommodate up to 12 people. A warm, neutral palette of wood is used throughout the floors and walls, accented by touches of black. This creates a serene and inviting atmosphere. The cabin includes an open kitchen and dining area, a master bedroom, a bathroom, and a sauna that ingeniously doubles as a guest sleeping area. An additional attic space offers further sleeping accommodation for guests. Large glass sliding doors and corner windows enhance the feeling of space and bring the stunning outdoor scenery into the living areas.

Designed by Stockholm-based Asante Architecture & Design, the house was completed in 2015 as part of a rural development project called "Bygda 2.0," which focuses on creating a dynamic, modern village with an emphasis on sustainable living, architecture, and gastronomy. The house was designed for Hadar Öster, a chef on the island, who wanted a home with stunning, uninterrupted sea views. The design of the 60 m² house prioritizes functionality and respect for the environment. The house is composed of two geometric, interlocking volumes. The structure is built partly on a concrete slab and partly on wooden pillars, which lifts the home over the steep, rocky terrain and minimizes its footprint. A sedum grass roof adds greenery and helps the building blend into the landscape. The exterior is clad in charred wood, a traditional Japanese technique (Shou Sugi Ban) adapted to the harsh Norwegian weather. This creates a low-maintenance, resilient façade that weathers naturally. The smaller, lower volume contains the entrance and bathroom, making it easily accessible from the road. The larger, higher volume contains the main living spaces and is oriented toward the sea for maximum views. The interior of Hadar's House is warm, cozy, and maximizes light and views. Large, panoramic windows in the living areas and even the bathroom frame the sea and the sky, fulfilling the client's dream of a home connected to its surroundings. Throughout the house, wooden panels with different treatments add warmth and variety. Exposed trapezoidal metal roofing sheets in the interior ceiling contrast with the wood and reflect light, creating a playful and airy feel. A wood-burning fireplace and efficient heating system ensure year-round comfort. The master bath features a unique, sunken bathtub perfectly positioned for uninterrupted views of the sea and, on clear nights, the Northern Lights. Recognition and legacy Hadar's House has received numerous accolades for its creative and sensitive design, including a Golden A' Design Award in 2018.

Completed in 2022, the award-winning residence is situated in a bucolic context, replacing a mid-century bungalow that had a less harmonious relationship with the landscape. The design is a sensitive and modern response to its setting, nestled among ash trees and fields, with its dark timber exterior allowing it to recede softly into the scenery. The house was conceived with a strong focus on sustainability, with the goal of creating a home that respects its surroundings and has minimal energy consumption. HAPA Architects employed a range of passive and active strategies to achieve this. Key features include an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), high levels of insulation and air tightness, and a passive solar design. The house also generates its own power via photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof and uses a high-efficiency air source heat pump for low-temperature underfloor heating. A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures a constant supply of fresh air, contributing to a stable and calm internal atmosphere regardless of external weather conditions. The architectural design features two distinct stacked forms, which create interesting overhangs and roof spaces. The lower level is built on a concrete plinth, while the upper, private bedroom spaces are housed within a simple gabled form that reaches up into the canopies of the trees. The transition from horizontal timber cladding on the lower level to vertical timber on the upper level accentuates this distinction. A covered entrance and a raised, open veranda connect the house to the rear garden and fields. Inside, the vaulted ceilings of the bedrooms create impressive double-height spaces, and a wrap-over window adds dramatic natural light. The interior continues the minimalist and elegant aesthetic with natural materials. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry crafted from cross-sawn, smoked, and white-oiled engineered oak planks, a material that also serves as the timber flooring. This provides a rustic yet refined texture that complements the home's contemporary feel. A natural patinaed zinc worktop works beautifully with the other natural finishes.

The lodge was commissioned by a client whose parents had spent decades cultivating the woodland, and the project's goal was to share the landscape with guests while preserving the area's sensitive ecology. The modest, 49-square-meter structure is deliberately unobtrusive, appearing to float among the trees on its sloped site. A key feature of the design is the use of floor-to-ceiling electrochromic glass facades on the front and rear of the lodge. This intelligent glazing automatically adjusts its transparency to provide privacy and control solar heat gain, while also preventing light pollution at night, which helps protect the local bat population. The large, seamless windows maximize views of the woodland and create a ""looking glass"" effect, making the interior feel intimately connected to its surroundings. The lodge was constructed by local craftsmen from nearby Hastings, with much of the fabrication done off-site to minimize on-site disruption. Its low-impact design includes a hybrid steel and timber-framed structure supported by steel screw piles. This foundation system avoids damaging the tree roots, ensures no trees were felled, and allows for unobstructed movement of wildlife across the site. The exterior is clad in untreated Western red cedar, which will weather to a silvery-grey color over time, blending naturally with the environment. Inside, the Scandinavian-inspired interior features a warm material palette of Western red cedar lining and birch plywood cabinetry. An open-plan layout contains a living area with a wood-burning stove fueled by timber from fallen local trees, a custom kitchen, and a private bedroom. The bathroom includes a freestanding bathtub with expansive views of the forest, further cementing the lodge's biophilic design principles.

Completed in 2021, the cabin was conceived as a self-contained getaway to invite its inhabitants into a close relationship with the outdoors while providing a high level of comfort and craftsmanship. Revenue generated from renting the cabin also supports the rewilding of the surrounding farmland to bring back biodiversity and wildlife. The exterior features a rugged, natural aesthetic with a mono-pitched roof made from corrugated metal that protects the structure with generous eaves. It is clad in cedar from a Dartmoor mill and constructed with an exposed Douglas fir frame. To minimize its environmental impact, the cabin is raised off the ground on pier foundations, reducing the need for concrete. Inside, the cabin features an open-plan layout defined by natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The interior walls are covered in a breathable clay render, which helps regulate temperature and humidity while providing a pleasing, organic texture. An oak kitchen lines one wall, and a cozy sleeping area is tucked into the gable end. Large, sliding glass doors link the interior with a sweeping larch veranda, expanding the living space to the outdoors. A copper bathtub on the deck offers a luxurious way to connect with the landscape.

Designed by RX Architects, the cabin is approached on foot via a woodland trail, as it is not accessible by vehicles. The project reflects a ""sense of place,"" using natural materials to create a strong visual connection between the structure and its rural environment. The 35-square-meter cabin is designed with an exposed timber frame and features two full glazed elevations that angle out toward the water. These sliding glass walls open up to a cantilevered deck that hovers over the water, providing seamless access for activities like swimming and kayaking. The building is clad in a mix of rough-sawn and planed English oak planks, which are left unfinished to weather naturally over time and integrate further with the landscape. A concrete base acts as a datum line, stepping up to form a bench and log store. The roof and its trims are clad in a contrasting patinated bronze finish. Inside, the cabin features a restrained, open-plan layout with a garden room, kitchen, and a wet room on the main level. Wide-format Douglas Fir boards line the interior walls, adding to the cabin's natural, rustic feel. A mezzanine level provides a sleeping area. The entire design is oriented toward maximizing views of the lake and surrounding countryside.

The project was commissioned by the client to provide a home for their mother who had moved to the city to be near family. Built on the site of a former raised terrace, the new structure is designed to harmonize with its garden setting. The design is sensitive to its surroundings, particularly the large tree canopy that provides protection for the small building. The exterior is clad in charred timber (shou sugi ban), which takes on the dark tones of its environment and provides protection from the elements. The form is characterized by a rectilinear elevation contrasted by a large, circular, moon-like opening. A pergola structure acts as an intermediate threshold between the shared garden and the interior. This space can be screened for privacy by sliding lattice panels that mask the full-width glazing. The interior of the single-room space is designed to feel bright and open. Birch plywood wall linings give a soft, warm feel, while Douglas fir flooring provides an organic texture. The roof features exposed diagonal joists, reminiscent of tree branches, and circular skylights cast dappled light onto the floor and provide views of the tree canopy above. A full-height cupboard divides the space to create a separate shower room while maintaining visual continuity of the ceiling. The highly sustainable design features excellent insulation, electric underfloor heating, and natural light and ventilation. The dry-construction technology is fully reversible, as the structure is built on small screw piles that can be easily removed.
