The adjacent landscape is dominated by sea, rock, heath and a sometimes rough coastal climate.The cabin is shaped in a pose similar to a mountain fox curling up to avoid the cold wind.
The building lies snugly by a rocky ridge, whilst a small atrium opens up to the panoramic view outside.
Local wind information on the property was registered with the help of windsocks and conversations with local inhabitants.
These observations, in addition to Anne Brit Børve’s PhD on design in harsh, cold climates, became important tools in relation to the placement, disposition, and design of the building entities.
