Cabin Åkvåg / Fjord Arkitekter

“Cabin Åkvåg” is a summer cabin located close to Lyngør, on the southeast coast of Norway. The cabin is scenically situated on top of a crag overlooking rocky outcrops and islets on Skagerrak, shielded by a lush forest and surrounded by a rugged landscape. The design aims to maintain the existing terrain and the qualities of the plot. To preserve nature, the shape of the building is kept simple and modest, built with lasting materials and detailing. While the building itself is placed on the hilltop, the outdoor deck follows the topography along different levels.
