  • About Firm
    Stinessen is committed to developing projects that are conscious of our surroundings and the people inhabiting the spaces we create. Interest, respect and curiosity are keywords to our processes. The studio provides a full range of services from architecture to interior and furniture design. We deliver tailor-made projects and products through a close interaction and dedicated service to our clients. It started as a cabin and turned into their full-time home.

The conceptual layout opens and closes the building in different directions, where the eastern part of the cabin closes towards some neighbouring buildings and opens towards a ridge and the close terrain on the other side. The opposite directions are sought at the front end of the cabin, opening up to the magnificent views towards the dramatic mountains and the fiord to the west.
The two volumes are slightly offset to provide for sheltered outdoor areas and views towards the fiord also from the rear volume.
