This gorgeous cabin in the woods of Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland is designed by Fyra (in collaboration with Ark Helsinki, photographed by Riikka Kantinkoski) and nestled in a ski resort, where this holiday home is the perfect getaway for the design-conscious.
Villa Housu is tailored to cater to the needs of an active outdoor family. A strong dialogue between architecture and interior design has been a driving force, resulting in an interior atmosphere that exudes warmth and relaxation, while staying true to a minimalistic design aesthetic.
The focus on a functional design is very apparent in this cozy raw wood cabin, with storage areas and functional elements intertwined with the cohesive layout of the house. Finnish pine wood covers all surfaces except the bathrooms, where functionality necessitates harder materials. The extensive use of spruce ensures a seamless integration with the surrounding environment.
A pine wood kitchen with granite countertops overlooking the forest
To match the pine wood cabin walls, pine kitchen cabinets with handles in the same material are the perfect choice for the cooking space. The grey granite countertops and the warm wood classic dining chairs around the table add a darker touch to the color palette.
The larger appliances are built into the walls, making them blend in with the space.
A spacious living room with a fireplace overlooking the forest
An integrated daybed underneath the staircase
A cozy bedroom with integrated storage
The bedrooms are located on the second level of the house, where the walls are also fully covered with pine wood for an elegant cabin look.
Subtle furniture pieces in the same wood tone paired with elegant textiles on the bed make for a fresh yet cozy sleeping atmosphere.
A custom wardrobe is integrated into the bedroom walls, with custom drawers in the same design as the kitchen cabinets.
A modern bathroom with stone and granite elements
The modern cabin bathroom features raw wood walls paired with an impressive custom grey stone sink and brass hardware for a modern aesthetic.
The granite floor tiles are continued on the walls of the shower for an impressive effect in combination with the brass fixtures.
