Prefab mountaintop cabin provides protection for hikers
A well-designed rest stop for weary trekkers Hiking into the Arctic Circle is exactly as cold as it sounds. To give trekkers a warm respite, the Norwegian Hiking Association (DNT) commissioned SPINN Arkitekter and Format Engineer to design a mountaintop hut in the small, scenic town of Hammerfest.

The prefabricated wooden dome sits on the side of a mountain and blends in with its jagged surroundings. Its facade is built from 77 cross-laminated wood panels that fit together like a puzzle. To create a design that would withstand cold wind and heaps of snow, a drone mapped the site, surveying the mountaintop location to help the designers optimize the hut?s organic, egg-like shape.

Multiple test huts were 3D printed and tested in a warehouse before the final product was partially fabricated and shipped shipped to the mountain where local volunteers finished off the construction.

The panels, which can be seen on the side, create a cozy cocooned interior that includes wood floors, simple benches, a big picture window, and a wood burning stove for those below-zero nights.
