Cocoon // A-frame // rammeverk //
In the Norwegian Fylke Innlndet lies the small municipality of Vaga.

Due to its mountainous and natural landscape, Norway represents a unique experience for every tourist.
Norway‘s clear natural beauty has attracted visitors from all over the world. The location of the cabins is in the middle of the natural habitat, which offers hiking and mountaineering areas next to it. The site is surrounded by landscapes that stretch for kilometers and offer great views. The lush flora and fauna are accessible from this place.
Due to Norway‘s closeness to nature, a coexistence
between people and nature is significant, which at this time is becoming increasingly important in the context of the concepts of bioph and climate change.
The trekking cabins provide basic functioning resources to seek shelter in the most remote places in the middle of nature.
Over time, the design and way of living has evolved, but the function of a compact retreat in the most remote places close to nature, has remained.
The cabins are designed to blend perfectly into the landscape, this is due not only to the regional choice of materials, but also to the shape of the structures. The cabins consist of two offset A-frame parts, which overlap each other. This creates a living space that flows smoothly into the bedroom.
The northern part of the smaller A-frame house offers each visitor a separate bathroom with an elongated skylight. The interlocking wall surfaces between the kitchenette and the bathroom create a small additional room, which functions as a technical room.
The cabins are accessed separately from the street, in addition, they have large glazed openings on the south side, which guarantee generous lighting, as well as direct the view of visitors to the valley and provide the opportunity to enjoy and observe this unique nature. From the living area you can access a small loggia, which offers a lot of privacy due to its elevated position with respect to the outside space.

The cabins have a depth of 11 meters, are 5.5 meters wide and 6 meters high at the highest point. The wooden framework, which is intended to give the visitor a kind of floating feeling inside, also forms the supporting structure. The room sequences are compact and functionally structured and offer a domicile for up to 6 people.

The material shall be chosen from the region of Norway the interior boarding for example is untreated pine wood and the insulation between the compartments is made of wood fiber. Furthermore, the point foundations make the least possible impact on the ecosystem. Thus, the CO2 footprint is reduced to a minimum.
Through this choice of materials, the A-Frame houses blend perfectly into the surroundings of the mountainous landscape of Norway.
