Røldal Cabin, Hordaland

The Røldal family vacation home is recognisable for its compact, defined and geometric shape. The objective of preserving as much of the surrounding landscape possible as a high priority resulted in the design of two volumes:

a small cabin and an annex, that keep a dialogue with the encompassing nature. Dividing the structures also answers to the need of a high flexibility and to accommodate di erent family compositions in separate spaces.

The articulated section is adapted to the steep terrain and is assigned to create interconnected floors and capture the views of both the forest and the hillside.

Norwegian text:

Familiehytta har en karakteristisk kompakt og geometrisk form. Bygget tar sikte på å bevare det omkringliggende landskapet i mest mulig grad. Dette har resultert i en utformingen av to ulike volum:

en liten hytte og et nærliggende anneks, i dialog med naturen rundt.

Å dele hytta i to separate bygg svarer på behovet for høyest mulig fleksibilitet og muligheten for å kunne innlosjere ulike familiekonstellasjoner i separate rom.

Det artikulerte prosjektet er tilpasset det bratte terrenget og inndelt i flere sammenhengende plan som fanger utsikten til både skog og kupert natur.
