Looking almost like an unidentified flying object set between two rocks, this modern and futuristic cabin, was built in 2013 in an untouched natural setting in Vestfold, Norway. The poetic coastal region offers a relaxed retreat and a direct encounter with the surrounding landscape.
Modern cabin by JVA – a work of architecture in Nordic nature
Inside this ultra-modern cabin, simplicity gives the project its quiet strength. With its silver aluminum outer shell, the modern cabin stands in striking contrast to the rugged landscape. The character of the site strongly influenced the architectural form. Its asymmetrical plan adapts to the terrain, the climate, and practical technical requirements.

The seawater-resistant aluminum cladding helps reduce the weight of the structure and protects it from the coastal climate. The highly insulated shell keeps the cabin pleasantly cool in summer and warm in winter. Three interconnected volumes share one roof and organize the interior spaces. Inside and outside, the house reads as a harmonious whole.
Summer house with an industrial-chic mood
The high-tech cabin creates a surprisingly pleasant atmosphere. With an area of 90 m², it impresses with its industrial style. Fabric and leather furnishings, light wood floors, and panoramic windows allow residents to enjoy the rocky coastal scenery.

Residents can relax in the sun on lounge chairs on the small terrace. An outdoor shower is also available for hot summer days.
