INNOVATIVE HOME THE
VISION OF TWO ARTISTS
KEBONY
Positioned amongst rough terrain and rocky landscapes on the island
of Skåtøy, Norway, sits a remarkable holiday home built by two artists
whose vision was to create an innovative and peaceful retreat. Expertly
designed to be in keeping with its natural Nordic surroundings, Kebony
was selected to clad the exterior of the property, creating a beautiful and
sustainable home which blends delicately into the rugged landscape.
Aptly named, House on an Island, this unique build combines an
intricate timber façade with concrete split-level interiors. Where
concrete flooring blurs the divide between the home’s interior and its
rocky surroundings, the use of rich Kebony wood unites the house with
adjacent trees which populate the Scandinavian island. In the coming
years, the dark brown tones of Kebony will begin to develop a silver
patina to match the rustic charm of Skåtøy.
