The low, elongated shape of the cabin is inspired by traditional mountain farm buildings, but a modern mountain cabin is a place for friends and family to gather. Hence it is planned around several spaces for spending time together, but also with a variety of secluded areas for privacy. The view to the horizon above the surrounding mountains are visible from every room, even from the bathtub. A lounge sofa and a kitchen bench are built into the outer wall of the living room, to maintain an uncluttered space with a gabled ceiling.
Outer walls and roof have shiplap cladding of local heartwood pine, and rain gutters are also wood. Interior floor, walls and ceiling is clad with knot free, waxed pine boards. The wax doesn’t seal the surface, and allows for the wood to achieve a natural patina. The kitchen floor is sanded concrete with exposed aggregate of river gravel, and the fireplace is site-cast. Two annexes have been built at a later stage, creating a sheltered yard and a sunny terrace.
