Structural Modern Cabin Retreats

The Malangen Retreat is a Luxurious Travel Option in Norway

— April 16, 2018 — Art & Design
Stinessen Architects created the Malangen Retreat as a unique and unconventional travel experience in the beautiful forests of Troms, Norway.

The resort is made from multiple cabins that are laid out east to west to effectively shield the opening of the forest. Made from recycled wood on the exterior cladding, each cedar panel is treated with iron sulfate to ensure safety and longevity. Each cabin is slightly elevated, with the large windows positioned directly at the view. The modern interiors are comfortable and high-end with luxurious furnishings and amenities.

Taking an unusual twist on the classic cabin by creating a cubic structure, the Malangen Retreat aims to bring guests back to nature while still offering a high-end vacation experience.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Nature Retreats - Opportunity for disruptive innovation exists in creating more unique and eco-friendly luxury retreats that offer guests a one-of-a-kind experience in nature.
2. Cubic Architecture - An opportunity to disrupt the traditional cabin and lodge concept by using unusual and modern architecture to create memorable, eco-friendly lodging options.
3. Sustainable Lodging - Opportunity exists for businesses to innovate and create more sustainable lodging options using recycled materials and eco-friendly practices that are still comfortable and luxurious for guests.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Hospitality - The luxury hospitality industry can use the unique eco-friendly designs seen in the Malangen Retreat to create more interesting and high-end experiences for guests.
2. Eco-tourism - Eco-tourism businesses can build on the success and uniqueness of Malangen Retreat by creating more sustainable lodging options that offer a luxurious vacation experience without causing damage to the environment.
3. Construction and Design - There is opportunity for construction and design industries to create eco-friendly structures like the Malangen Retreat using sustainable materials like recycled wood, which offers longevity and safety while still providing a unique and aesthetic design.
