vardehaugen’s cabin vindheim in norway appears to be buried beneath snow

Published by Leonardo Calcagno

designed by architecture studio vardehaugen, the form of ‘cabin vindheim’ is influenced by the classic motif of a snowbound cabin with its roof protruding above the snow. the dwelling is situated within a deep forest, near the norwegian town of lillehammer — a region subject to heavy snowfall. the structure is clad with black-stained pinewood, with bold apertures cut into the scheme’s façade. when snow covers the roof of the structure, the building becomes a man-made slope for ski jumping, toboggan runs and other winter activities.  continues at designboom.com
