In the endless expanses of Norway, the architects from TYIN Tegnestue and Rintala Eggertsson have designed a secluded resort for creative minds. This small settlement was called Fordypningsrommet, which translates from Norwegian as “space for small studies”. It consists of a total of nine small huts on stilts, which are clad on the outside with durable Kebony wood. Built in 2016, the dream resort was originally only offered as a retreat for artists where they could create in complete seclusion. Today anyone can visit the settlement to relax or admire the northern lights.
The idea behind the project was brought forward by the Norwegian composer Håvard Lund. Since Lund is an artist himself, he wanted to create a place where people could create their own art in peace. For this he chose the Norwegian island of Fleinvaer. Around therocky landscapeTo avoid destruction, the architects built the individual huts on stilts. The hillside location of the bungalows offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area.
All nine huts on stilts have external cladding made of high quality Kebony wood, which can withstand the severe weather conditions in this area. The highest building is further surrounded by a steel frame, which provides more stability and creates a real eye-catcher.
Four of the cabins in this exceptional resort are equipped with sleeping facilities, with the remaining five containing common areas such as a kitchen, shared bathroom and aSaunacondition. The design of each cabin is minimalist. Inside you only have the bare necessities and your own bathroom is an impossible luxury. Nevertheless, the remote resort is a popular vacation spot for those who dream of something a little more secluded.
Since the settlement is on a very small island, there isn't much else to do here other than beautiful views and peace and quiet. The nearest town can only be reached by ferry, so tourists should only visit the resort well prepared with food and warm clothing. Here you still get exclusive time out in nature, which is often impossible in our hectic everyday lives. Anyone who visits the island from the end of August can also discover the magical Northern Lights.
