Sahara Cottage / Atelje O
Briefly

A summer cottage, named Sahara Cottage, is constructed from local materials and built by local artisans. Set in a forest glade, the building exhibits a simple yet sophisticated design. The structure is elevated on light stilts, giving it a floating appearance above the overgrown forest floor, primarily composed of ferns. This design leaves a minimal footprint on the environment while blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Completion of the project occurred in 2022, led by architects Joel Winsnes and Mats Wahlstrom.
