"Fritidshus ved Roggeluokta" (1 of 5)
Description
The holiday home at Roggeluokta is situated outermost on a foreland in the fjord Storfjord, in an open and largely contoured landscape, exposed to the elements. The building is located at the transitional point between an old beach terrace and a steep incline that slopes downwards to the current sea level. It is partially buried in the ground, and along the sides there are recessed sections which provide a sheltered outdoor area on this otherwise windswept site. Situated alongside the terrain are the bedrooms. On the opposite end is the living room, which has a continuous window band on three sides and a magnificent view overlooking the fjord and mountains.
The traditional motifs and materials used on the boathouses and outbuildings in the area are recognised on the holiday home - such as the natural stone wall, wooden panelling on the walls and ceiling, along with the simple rectangular form, capped by a saddle roof - but everything is assembled in a new way.
The landscape and weather are dramatically correspondent and are viewed as an attraction. The architecture is subordinate and constitutes this relationship.
