Merry x-mas / God Jul fra Vikerfjell!


From all of us..

Cladding and insulation ..

We arrived to a fantastic winter landscape. But with temperatures dropping to minus 22 degrees celsius, the workers looked kind of pale :)

First part of the kebonized pine cladding. Give it one season and it will turn grey.

I have decided to use pine around the windows as well and drop aluminum. The black aluminum frames of the windows will be recessed and give a dark shadow-like expression. I can see that some will argue that one should avoid cutting the boards vertically. To avoid that one have to have different gaps between the boards and I would prefer the way they have done it.

Love this color too. This will be the color on the interior cladding in parts of the cabin, though without the gaps.

Insulation-work in progress.

I was excited to see how the sunlight enters the space and hits the concrete wall. This is only going to happen when the sun is as low as during this time of year.


Lake-view.

Mountain-view.

First layer of skin!

After the paneling of the roof was done, the first layer of skin was put up.

Living room and kitchen window openings. The opening above the veranda door will be paneled as well.

Opening for the windows in the kitchen at the same height as the counter top.

View from the hallway.

The horizontal window openings to bring in the view.

The guest room corner with two of the window openings not cut out yet.

Me checking the virtual with the real at an earlier trip.

The protected outdoor space for lots of memorable evenings.
