House by the Fjord: Built Into the Slope

A residence designed by OFFICE INAINN sits on the west coast of Norway, 148 meters above sea level. Completed in April 2025, the 127-square-meter home follows the steep slope without altering the ground. The dark timber structure blends with its surroundings and positions itself as part of the terrain rather than standing apart from it.

Two staggered volumes shape the house, creating different interior levels that mirror the hillside. The entrance runs along a narrow path between rocks, leading to a linear corridor that connects the rugged exterior with a calm interior. Each room offers views of the fjord, framed by trees and natural light.

Materials were chosen for their local character and tactile quality. Their role is to support the setting, not dominate it. Wood, stone, and natural finishes emphasize continuity with the site while keeping the focus on the views and the rhythm of daylight.

The project was built in collaboration with the client, who stressed the importance of regional ties. The guiding principle was to let nature lead the design, from concept through completion. OFFICE INAINN’s work reflects a Scandinavian approach focused on simplicity, function, and minimal intervention.

Get Rid Of Wood Mites

Image
Wood mites are not considered dangerous or toxic. An infestation is unsightly and annoying. Some people have allergic reactions to the tiny hairs and skin that wood mites shed. Symptoms are similar to those caused by dust mites–including itching, skin redness, and respiratory issues. Wood mites are more difficult to spot than to eliminate. What Are Wood Mites? Wood mites are tiny (less than 1/16 inch long) and white–almost translucent–and are bugs related to spiders and ticks. Individual mites are difficult to spot but gather in groups that look like white spots. Wood mites are attracted to damp wood where they feed on cellulose, dead insects, and mold. Identifying Wood Mite Infestations Wood mites do not cause major structural problems but over time they damage furniture and other wood items. Their size makes them difficult to spot but here are some signs that may indicate mite infestations. Dust-Like Particles . May be mite feces and/or shed skin on wood surfaces. White Or Br...

Causes Of Mold Mold spores are everywhere in the environment. They feed on any organic matter like wood, dust, soap scum, etc. All the spores need to start growing on a food source is the addition of water, moisture, or relative humidity over 60%.

Poor ventilation, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, and other moisture sources also promote mold growth. Natural Mold Killers You usually have some of these natural mold killers...

A stay at Koto at The Point – minimalist eco cabins in Cornwall

Image
[Advertisement – this post is based on a press stay, but all words and opinions are my own.] Chris and I always love visiting Cornwall. The craggy coves and beaches, the fields and moors, the pretty harbour towns, the distinct cultural traditions combined with a thriving contemporary arts scene… It’s unlike anywhere else in the UK, and it draws us back time and time again . And, as we both have Cornish ancestry, it’s somewhere we feel deeply connected to. Over the years we’ve taken numerous trips to the Penwith Peninsula and the area around Falmouth , but recently we got the chance to explore what is for us a lesser-known part of the county when we were invited to review Koto at The Point – a new cluster of design-led eco cabins set on the north Cornish coast, between the villages of Rock and Polzeath. A collaboration between family-run leisure business The Point and sustainable prefab specialists Koto, Koto at The Point sits on the site of a former airstrip, next to The Point...
