House on an Island in Norway

House on an Island in Norway

This small house with an area of 60 square meters is located in Norway. Designed by Asante Architecture & Design, it is part of the island settlement program aimed at creating a modern and dynamic village. The owner of the house is a chef who decided to settle in the midst of a beautiful natural landscape. His main desire was to have a home where every room would offer a sea view. At night, he can watch the full moon in the living room, enjoy the northern lights while taking a bath, and even catch fish right from his balcony. The building consists of two sections: the entrance area and bathroom on the first floor, and the kitchen and living room on the second. Above that is a small attic with a sleeping area. The entrance opening is designed for firewood storage. Small windows face the road, while large panoramic ones look toward the water. The facade is made of weather-resistant wood. The roof is covered with vegetation, adding variety to the rocky landscape. Interior finishes include wooden panels and neutral-toned tiles to create unity between decor and the surrounding nature.
