How can one make the most out of the least? Lyngodden is a small floating extension added to a typical 1960s cabin. It´s organized along an axis serving as a space for circulation, storage and living. The rooms open up to this axis through intersecting sliding doors and strategically placed windows, creating transitions and sightlines. The design is simple and lightweight, with carefully articulated elements, making it possible as a self-build project.
The exterior features traditional yakisugi wood-burning cladding, while the interior is finished in plywood. By emphasizing on organization, natural materials, and light, the addition does as little as possible but give the most in return.
