In a stunning seashore location on Norway’s Lyngen peninsula, a protected heritage area well within the Arctic Circle, Snorre Stinessen Architecture’s lodge design is based on a natural platform in the landscape protected by an angular canopy. This forms the eastern wall and roof – clad entirely in Nordic Green pre-patinated copper – providing high indoor ceilings.
The copper enclosure contrasts with wide-open views of the surrounding nature, including the northern lights in winter, through extensive, seamless glazing. The same approach is taken with the two outbuildings, also enveloped with Nordic Green copper, which was chosen for its durability, permanence, quality and beauty as a natural material.
