The 'Diamanten Cabin' has been designed by A38 Arkitekter as a diamond-inspired structure that is focused on sitting neatly on the mountainside amongst nearby homes without looking too out of place. The unassuming design of the cabin consists of only one main room that is completely open-concept and faced outwards onto the village below. This helps to make the space feel as open as possible, while also creating a sort of oxymoronic experience that highlights a certain cozy openness.
The 'Diamanten Cabin' is ultra-modern in certain respects, but fits in well with the landscape to help make it an acceptable addition to the Norwegian landscape. While ideal as a winter escape, the cabin also shows promises as an ethereal place to watch the seasons change in the springtime.
