'summer retreat' is a residence in fuglevik, norway by oslo-based practice reiulf ramstad arkitekter. clad with wooden planks,
a solid entry facade creates a mono-view, directing attention towards the landscape in one direction to produce a
heightened connection with the ocean. minimal penetrations and windows allow healthy circulation through the interior
while the rear of the home opens into a continuous glass facade. the uniform wooden interior unfolds with a partially screened
veranda which frames an outdoor seating area with views towards the water.
