Situated on a highly protected fjord outside Oslo, this progressive new build functions as a boutique hotel and world-class recording retreat. Conceived as a sanctuary for musical output, the architecture translates the raw, atmospheric landscape into a refined luxury spatial experience.

A quiet but radical building clad in shou sugi ban shingles mirrors the recognisable fjordside vernacular black ceramic roof tiles. Inside, a warm stripped back material palette belies the contemporary technology performance both environmentally and acoustically.
