Entry Description

The cabin reflects two very different situations and the natural terrain, which is evident in the conceptual layout where the higher part of the cabin closing itself to some neighbours in the west and opens towards the ridge and close terrain on the eastern side. The front end of the cabin opens up to the magnificent views of dramatic mountains in the south and the fiord to the west. To contrast the exposure to the panoramic views this part of the cabin closes on the opposite north. The two volumes are slightly offset to provide for sheltered outdoor areas and views from various rooms.
