The cottage replaces an old shed and supplied with a new outhouse and new pier.
The building is twofold with one residence zone and one bedroom area, combined with a protected patio giving shelter to different wind conditions.


The situation forms an open wing plan which opens towards the south. The south wing contains the private zone with compact sleeping cabins. The east wing consists of one large open living/kitchen area, divided by a split-level, emphasizing the view put the straight towards Jomfruland. The form is dynamic with a wedge-shaped plan and a roof form that embraces the view to the bay in the front.

The pine facade is treated with iron-sulfate which together with the sedum-moss roof captures the coloring in the environment.

Really like the sketches.
Good style for wooden houses… really good look…
A project full of joy and love! Brilliant!
that’s impressive, these curve lines and the textures are so
in harmony with the environment!! that’s a pity there are no open plans of the house))
interior shots?????? what am i supposed to learn from this?
ClNU2x With the bases loaded you struck us out with that answer!
Wow, I love everything, absolutely wonderful… except for the stone on the exterior behind the fireplace. Big mistake.
It’s probably due to the Norwegian fire safety building code.
You would not want to build a fireplace surrounded by wood alone.
