'A Rolling Master Plan' is perhaps one of the most unique hotel concepts I have ever come across. No wonder it won third place for the Idea Competition of Andalsnes in Norway. In an attempt to revitalize the country, the team created a [mobile hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-well-cabin-offmo) that travels along train tracks to take visitors into the heart of the Fjords.

Conceived by JagnefÃ¤lt [Milton Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenery-unlimited), 'A Rolling Master Plan' feature [minimalist accommodations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-1) that rely on its magnificent surroundings for decor and entertainment.
