Holiday home in Norway.

Norway’s harsh but picturesque nature attracts many tourists to the country, which is why hospitality owners often try to locate their hotels right in the middle of an unspoiled wilderness. It is in such a place that a recently rebuilt small holiday home is located. Its simple design fully compensates for the scenic view from the window..

Rever & Drage Architects has completed work on a holiday home located in Straumsnes on the west coast of Norway. The old dilapidated building of the 1950s was destroyed, and in its place the customer wanted a simple and open dwelling in order to get an overview of the picturesque landscape.

The wide windows offer stunning views from the window.

The interior is also made in a minimalist style: simple shapes, only the most necessary furniture – all this is offset by an excellent view from the window.

From the previous infrastructure, the architects left only the pool. After restoration, it fits perfectly into the overall architectural ensemble, reflecting the harsh nature.
Another house, built right in the middle of the harsh Norwegian nature, is located on the coast in Larvik. The house is located on stilts just 5 meters from the water.
