# Environment-Inspired Modern Cabins The Cabin Sjusjoen is a Unique Geometric Cabin in Norway By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-03-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabin-sjusjoen References: [architizer](https://architizer.com/projects/cabin-sjusjoen/) & [ahaa.no](http://ahaa.no/) Norway-based studio Aslak Haanshuus Architects created the new [Cabin Sjusjoen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-cabin) in the country's most popular cross-country skiing area. The home was designed to fit into the environment, and protect itself from the harsh wind and weather. With an L-shaped floor plan, this house is organized to put the volume of the space in the east-west axis of the entire plot. Following closely to the natural terrain, the cabin flows over five different levels, creating a modern interior that contrasts the [classic wooden exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoke-lake-cabin). Large windows open up onto the large terrace, allowing for an indoor/outdoor living space, as well as vast views of the snow-covered hills. Made from [prefabricated solid wood materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1807-holiday), the Cabin Sjusjoen stays true to classic Norwegian cabin design, with a unique luxurious twist. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Environment-inspired Architecture:** Designing buildings that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings, offering protection from harsh weather conditions. - **Prefabricated Solid Wood Construction:** Utilizing prefabricated solid wood materials to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing structures. - **Indoor-outdoor Living Spaces:** Creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces for an enhanced living experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunities to develop innovative architectural solutions that prioritize sustainability and integration with nature. - **Construction and Materials:** Potential for the development and implementation of sustainable and efficient prefabricated wooden construction techniques. - **Real Estate and Hospitality:** Opportunities to create unique and eco-friendly living spaces that offer indoor-outdoor experiences to attract sustainable tourism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Tranquil Cabin Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolder-londges.md) - [Circular Windowed Woodland Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-nest.md) - [Rustic Forest Timber Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rever-drage.md) - [Captivating Modern Prefab Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skali-backcountry-cubiod.md) - [Arctic Floating Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vipp-guesthouse.md) - [Dark-Green Minimal Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalar-architecture.md) - [Tranquil Nature-Centric Cabin Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nortehaus.md) - [Outdoor-Blended Summer Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/io-cabin.md) - [Contemporary Wooden Blue Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-cabin.md)
