Erling Berg, a Norwegian designer and architect, is passionate about creating comfortable spaces. His I/O (Inside-Outside) Cabin is a summer tiny house that offers interactive indoor-outdoor living nestled in the Norwegian hills, facing the ocean. It is a tiny cabin with a minimalistic aesthetic and free-flowing design that is decked with big windows to increase the conversations between the in and the out.
The light and breezy cabin stands on wooden pillars slightly raised from the ground to lessen the impact on natural surroundings. Keeping the frequently changing weather of Norway in mind, the concept of inside-outside has come into effect. It has floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and offer ample space for a big family.
The I/O Cabin is a fully-furnished tiny house with a wooden deck for additional space. The structure of the house consists of three parts adjoined with an atrium to adapt to the inside-outside concept. The inner walls of the house are draped in white-painted horizontal wood siding, and white oiled spruce timber has been used for floors and ceilings. It has a living room, a kitchen, four bedrooms, and a bathroom.
