Malangen Retreat

This beautiful family retreat located in Tromso, Norway, is an award-wining project by Architect Snorre Stinessen. The stunning Malangen Retreat draws inspiration mainly from the gorgeous landscape, it consists of a cluster of accommodation cabins located on a ridge rising from the fjord below and neighbor a lush forest. Each cabin is connected via in-between spaces that provide an experience of being outdoors and symbolizes the transition between spaces and functions. All the individual boxes are clad in cedar panels and treated with iron sulfate, whilst large expanses of glass create a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape.
