About Senja Kabano

Senja estas familia kabano konstruita apud malgranda fiŝkaptista vilaĝo en norda Norvegio. La dezajno ĉerpas el la samea tradicio de Heller, en kiu ŝirmejoj estis faritaj sub grandaj rokoj. La konstruaĵa envolvaĵo estas formita kiel ŝtono, kun linioj kiuj sekvas la proksimajn montojn, kaj ĝi enhavas grandan panoraman fenestron rigardantan al la pejzaĝo. La ligna fasado estas pentrita malhelgriza por kunfandiĝi kun la ĉirkaŭaĵo. La ĉefenirejo estas skulptita en la konstruaĵan mason kaj formas ŝirmitan eksteran spacon. Interne, pinaj muroj, kverkaj plankoj kaj latita ligna plafono ĉirkaŭas kamenon.

Production Technology: The cabin has a wooden facade painted in dark grey to naturally blend in with the surrounding nature. The windows are made of wood/aluminium with details in steel to protect from the harsh winterstorms. The main entrance in carved into the building mass and creates a sheltered space to relax.

Inside the cabin the walls are covered with pine boards, oak floors and a 45x45 wooden slated ceiling. This creates a warm and cozy atmosphere to relax by the fireplace.

Design Challenge: Adopting to a delicate landscape
Research: By studying old Sami building traditions, we found the ancient tradition of “Heller” where Sami*s would find shelter and build a cottage under large rocks. By shaping the building envelope like a stone with natural lines similar to the mountains, one could make a large panorama window in this shape. The project then becomes a "rock with a view" that settles naturally in the terrain - hidden by the forest from neighbours and the main road. Still on the inside of the cabin you feel like being part of nature.

Project Duration: 2017-2020 Senja, Norway
Operation Flow: The cabin is designed specifically to open ut to nature with panoramic views to the surrounding mountains. As the the weather can change drastically in hours it is important to have the option of both a sheltered outdoor space - and a climatized indoor space where you feel part of nature. At the dinner table, one gathers the family with a view a panoramic view of the mountains - the lines between inside and outside have been blurred and the space changes in tune with the light and landscape.
