This is really quite nice, the cladding material is great and the relationship to the landscape is evident without feeling forced or too literal a translation, also a lot of interesting spatial conditions coming about on the interior.

My only real contention is that while I love the wood on the interior for the stairs and the vertical surfaces I think it becomes visually overwhelming in combination with the floor and ceiling in some of the interior shots. In some places, where the line between horizontal and vertical orientation of surface is blurred, it works nicely but where the difference between surface orientation becomes more obvious I think a corresponding differentiation in materiality would have improved the quality of the space.

Beautifully conceived and executed. The interaction between the floor and the ceiling give one the impression of movement through the space without taking a a step. Brilliant.

I think Norway is developing a monopoly on sweet work in wood.
