The Hvitsten cabin under construction, in the snow...
From the window niche in the play area, overlooking the snowy approach and the existing annex cabins
Hvitsten — a seaside resort on the Oslo fjord where we are redesigning a cabin — can still be pretty cold in winter. Yesterday's visit to the building site showed me an aspect of the project I hadn't experienced yet: the summer cabin in the snow.
Part of the client's brief was to make the cabin comfortable to use all year round, so I could finally put our design to test, overlooking the snowy landscape from its cosy interior.
The interior is nearing completion and the new oak-clad storage wall was being installed, with its integrated kitchen and window niche in the play area.
