# Lakeside Micro Cabins The Nisser Micro Cabin is Covered in a Blond Timber Facade By Joey Haar | Published 2017-10-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisser-micro-cabin References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/881041/nisser-micro-cabin-feste-landscape-architecture) In Norway, woodsy cabins are part of an architectural tradition stretching back millennia, and the Nisser Micro Cabin represents the modern iteration of that form. The timber-clad vacation home rises up on stilts out of a lake in the small town of Nissedal, Norway, showing the expanse that [classic cabin-building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-pod) has stretched over the years. Though Nisser Micro Cabin is on stilts, Feste Landscape / Architecture, the studio behind the design, has its sights set on loftier goals — or rather, lower ones. Instead of building the micro cabin on stilts, the studio hopes to build the same design (or a similar one) on a [floating platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-river-cabin) that can move out into the center of the lake. Such a building would represent a true break from the forested cabins of decades past. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floating Micro Cabins:** Opportunity to disrupt the vacation home industry by creating floating micro cabins that offer unique experiences on bodies of water. - **Architectural Innovations:** Opportunity to innovate and push the boundaries of traditional cabin designs by incorporating modern elements and materials. - **Mobile Vacation Homes:** Opportunity to create portable and movable vacation homes that can be relocated to different scenic locations as per the guests' choice. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality Industry:** Disrupt the traditional hotel industry by offering floating micro cabins as a new and unique accommodation option. - **Architecture and Construction Industry:** Opportunity for architects and construction companies to explore innovative cabin designs and construction techniques. - **Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Industry:** Introduce mobile vacation homes to cater to the growing demand for unique and eco-friendly accommodations in scenic locations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rustic Forest Timber Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rever-drage.md) - [Arctic Floating Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vipp-guesthouse.md) - [Architectural Tranquil Cabin Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolder-londges.md) - [Log Cabin-Inspired Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restua.md) - [Waterside Retreat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-boral.md) - [Affordable Timber Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-pod.md) - [Off-Grid Forest Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nest-cabin.md) - [Elevated Treetop Modern Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buitenverblijf-nest.md) - [Forest-Treetop Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-cabin.md)
