Snorre Stinessen Malangen Family retreat
Malangen Family retreat is Platinum Design Award winner in 2017 - 2018 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
Malangen Family retreat

The Malangen retreat explores in particular the values of the different activities in everyday life through the interaction between spaces and functions. Each function and activity have been organised in separate volumes which are connected by in-between spaces. These in-between spaces have a primary function of separating activities and spaces, but also symbolises a journey between each activity. The main goal of the design is to bring to light values that are often forgotten in a hectic life and also highlight the connection and respect to the nature around us.
