Local architects create modern vision for Norwegian cabin in Stokkøya

A modern holiday cabin on a Norwegian island is the joint work of the country’s Fur arkitekter and Agraff arkitektur.A modern holiday cabin on a Norwegian island is the joint work of the country’s Fur arkitekter and Agraff arkitektur.It’s no secret that the Norwegians love a holiday cabin. A large part of the population traditionally spends the summer in simple, wooden structures in forests and by the water, which they use as a base to appreciate and enjoy their country’s beautiful countryside.

Commissioned by a couple with a base in nearby Trondheim, the project involved the replacement of an old boathouse on site with a light, timber building where the clients can entertain guests, creating ‘unique food experiences rooted in Norwegian coastal culture’. Named, ‘Naustet’ , the cabin references its origins and the site in more ways than one. The new structure also gives a nod to the older one through the use of traditional timber frames, which were updated to fit modern needs.

The exterior cladding is made of spruce and treated with linseed oil to appear darker. A jetty for boats, an outdoor kitchen, a sauna and a hot tub complete the composition on site. Meanwhile inside, an open plan, generous main level houses a kitchen and dinning space for 12, while stairs lead up to four different mezzanine bedroom areas. Interiors come courtesy of SJ Design, who worked closely with the architects .

‘Stokkøya was a unique concept for us from the outset and one which was fantastic to see come to fruition. Our brief was to design a food studio with all the facilities of a commercial kitchen, that could also sleep up to eight guests’, say the interior designers. ‘So, the logistics of all this in a space this size meant that everything must have a place and a reason for being there.
