above the sea

Stinessen Arkitektur have designed a group of holiday cabins as part of the Manshausen Island Resort, that specializes in adventure and exploration off the coast of Northern Norway. The resort was planned and laid out in consideration of the Island´s topography and the two main existing structures – the old farmhouse and the stone quays.

The interior gives room to a kitchen and dining area on the ground floor and a relaxing library on the first floor. The cabins are all but one placed on the stone quays, partially cantilevered above the sea. The cabins are designed to offer guests shelter and comfort while at the same time underlining the dramatic experience of the elements outside.
