Senja Cabin

Architecture

Senja is a family cabin built near a small fishing village in northern Norway. The design draws on the Sami tradition of Heller, in which shelters were made under large rocks. The building envelope is shaped like a stone, with lines that follow the nearby mountains, and it holds a large panoramic window facing the landscape. The wooden facade is painted dark grey to blend with the surroundings. The main entrance is carved into the building mass and forms a sheltered outdoor space. Inside, pine walls, oak floors and a slatted wooden ceiling surround a fireplace.
