Cabin Knapphullet In Norway Constructed In Natural Rock Formation


Norwegian studio Lund Hagem designed Cabin Knapphullet, a beautiful Sandefjord seaside home surrounded by natural rock formations and dense vegetation.

The building is quite small, 30 m2, but vertically has three levels- the basement, the ground floor level and the roof. The architects wanted to maximize the use of natural shelter but also to provide a magnificent view of the sea. The way they achieved that is by creating a roof that can be easily accessed.

The Exterior Of Cabin Knapphullet

This cabin has just 30 m2 and is constructed in natural rock formation.

The roof is made from concrete and can be accessed through a staircase that’s incorporated into the roof itself. It folds down to the ground and you can easily climb on it, to witness the beautiful panoramic view or simply to use the roof as a chilling area.
