Thermowood Facade in Norwegen Cabin | Lunawood

This cabin in Lofoten, Norway sits next to a stream in the middle of a rugged natural landscape and features a beautiful Lunawood Thermowood facade. Towards the road, the cabin appears humble and restrained, while the side facing the sea offers breathtaking views and embraces the sun throughout the course of the day. The cottage, with its naturally weathered cladding, becomes another part of nature.

Utilizing three different widths of exterior cladding panels gives an interesting rhythm to the exterior cladding. The design team at VÅG LOFOTEN AS, together with the carpenters, developed a “prototype-meter” which is a seemingly random collection of three-panel sizes. This principle is repeated around the whole façade.

Exterior Wood

The captivating rhythm of the facade design is supported by the advanced performance of the wood. Lunawood Thermowood withstands the changing seasons of Norway and the moisture brought by the sea and keeps its original shape for decades.

The fully wood-clad Lunawood facade has gained gray tones over time due to the weather causing a patina to form on the pine planks. Over time its appearance will slowly blend more and more into its surroundings.
