Do you love tiny houses or quaint rustic cottages? Are you planning to build your own small house — maybe even a modular or prefab house? Do you want to have a place where you can engage with hillwalking and mountaineering? Do you want your home to be situated near amazing fauna and flora? Do you want a simple life while enjoying your place with your family and friends? If your answer is “Yes,” then you may consider building a tiny house like this one, called Vega, as a new home for you and your family.
Vega, one of the great places in picaresque Norway, can offer you a great home design idea in this modern rustic cottage — a term we’ve been using here for prefab and other house designs that are modern in some aspects, while also having a strong “rustic” aesthetic. While the location it was build on is known to have huge populations of plants, birds, and mammals, you can imagine probably how a small prefab house or cottage based on this design would fit almost anywhere. It has also been voted in 2004 to be on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
This tiny house / rustic cottage is a project by Kolman Boye Architects. This house is 140 m2 and was constructed in 2009-2012. The Vega rural cottage is situated on the island of Vega. It is not far from the polar circle. The location is known for its awesome northern landscape. The house gives you an amazing view of the Norwegian sea and the wonderful mountains rising from it.
The Vega Cottage’s structure is beautiful. The surrounding landscape where the house is built was not touched and remains wild. The house stands on a rock beneath a granite shoulder. The rustic cottage has large windows that allow you to witness the beauty of the ocean, mountain range and the bedrock. The house has also huge spaces for social gatherings with family and friends located on the lower level of the house. The upper level is composed of bedrooms and family rooms.
Vega is a perfect place for a new home if you want to experience nature at its best. It is a place that will give you an opportunity to appreciate the real beauty of nature, undisturbed and preserved. It is a place where you can have peace of mind while enjoying the simplicity of life. It is a place that will allow you to wake up everyday, witnessing the breath taking views that it can always offer you.
