SPACIAL ARRANGEMENT
Hytta is situated on a south-facing slope at the edge of a pine forest , which separates the cabin from the surrounding civilization , providing plenty of privacy . Its floor plan is inspired by a former hunting cabin , preserving its overall shape . On the ground floor , you ' ll find the living area with a kitchen , a foyer , a bathroom , a utility room , and a second outdoor bathroom accessible from the outside .
ARCHITECTS FOCUS
" The main intention was to design a place that works in harmony with its natural surroundings to provide ample space for reflection and spark inspiration ."
The main living area has a high gable roof , providing generous space for creativity . From the living area , you can access the bathroom , which offers a striking and intimate atmosphere , thanks to the black screed and furniture . The staircase in the kitchen , made from delicate sheet metal , is suspended by cables and ascends gracefully to the main bedroom . This bedroom faces east , and through its large window the morning sun enters the room , allowing you to watch nature awaken , right from the comfort of your bed . The bedroom also provides access to the first of two cozy nooks . The second nook is situated on a small loft above the main living area and is accessible via a ladder . Both nooks provide additional sleeping areas , allowing Hytta to comfortably accommodate up to six people .
