How would you love to escape to a mesmerizing holiday home nestled on the rocky coastline of a small island in Larvik, Norway" It does sound like an exciting proposition filled with amazing views and loads of tranquility! Promising precisely that and a whole lot more is Lille Arøya by Lund Hagem, that was designed for a young family who wanted to transform their more modest holiday home into something far more exciting and expansive. A series of rocks, within a 5-meter radius of water?s edge made the construction of this structure all the more complicated.Galvanized steel columns were directly drilled into the rocks to give the structure a sturdy base that can withstand the harsh local weather conditions. The house almost floats above water and the rocks with the new structures and additions being connected with the existing holiday home in a seamless fashion. Walkways and bridges turn this cabin into an even more fascinating setting as life comes to a tranquil halt at this magical Norwegian home. The two new volumes are connected with each other seamlessly with one housing the kitchen, dining and living room and the other containing the bedroom and bathrooms.Rough sawn ore pine and lovely timber beams give the interior cozy warmth even as the concrete fireplace and bathroom offer cool textural contrast. With an audacious design and even more awesome backdrop, this is indeed a dream getaway in every sense of the word! [Photography: Alexandre Westberg & Lund Hagem...
