Excerpt: Sanden+Hodnekvam Architects designs a compact Cabin at Rones using concrete walls & floor. The main floor is a concrete construction with three different levels adapting to the terrain. The concrete base, and the big wooden windows in front, support the second floor; a triangular-shaped volume of cross-laminated timber wrapped in black roofing felt.

[Text as submitted by architect] The small cabin is located at Rones, 150km north of Trondheim. The site is steep and rough with a view of the fjord. The cabin has a compact footprint that adapts to the landscape and preserves the site and its vegetation.

The interior is characterized by the raw concrete walls, the polished concrete floor, the wooden windows, and the 2nd store all made in Norwegian pine. The furnishing is made out of Norwegian birch.

The gutter and other outdoor details are made of untreated copper, which will weather with time. The cabin has a sheltering atmosphere with its protective back wall in concrete and its open glass facade facing the fjord.
