Stellar views, local pine, and a Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired design combine in a compact cabin perched high in the Kvitfjell Mountains.
After years of working at Oslo- and San Francisco–based Mork Ulnes Architects, Norwegian architect Erling Berg recently launched his own practice—and his first project is a cozy cabin with a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic and a thoughtful eco-sensitive design.
Cross-country skiing tracks are located along the south-facing elevation of Kvitfjell Cabin. They connect to the downhill slopes of the surrounding Kvitfjell ski resort.

The cabin is clad in untreated, locally sourced pine that will develop a silvery-gray patina over time.

Named after its location, the Kvitfjell Cabin sits on an elevated site that the clients—a family with a passion for skiing—carefully selected for its world-class ski slopes and phenomenal views of Jotunheimen National Park’s dramatic mountain range.
The light-filled living area is oriented toward the southwest for optimal landscape views.
