stone shelter





Located on the coast of Vestfold in the southern part of Norway, the summer house replaces an older building on the site. Planning application stipulates that the project had to be adjusted to the site's terrain terms of scale, material, shape and color. Built in the existing stone walls, the elongated house is cut into the rocks to shelter against the wind. The Architects, JVA have also built new walls by blasting the rock formation on the site itself. The house is cladded in treated Kebony wood to increase its durability against the salt water.
