design vision

Norden Cross is a unique place. A serene piece of pine forest at the headwaters of the South Yuba River. We wanted to create a home that celebrated all the beauty of the area, while touching the land lightly, to preserve the delicated ecosystem.

Return to the Village

A tun is a Nordic term, meaning courtyard, enclosed area or a small holding. It is the protected space between buildings. Creating an intimate gathering area in ancient Nordic villages. Inspired by the land we wanted to create a place where the architecture becomes ones with the site. Where the homes and structures are nestled more closely together in style of ancient Norwegian tuns. Preserving as much natural land as possible and creating protected intimate spaces between the buildings.

The Kings of cabin

Cabin architecture varies heavily around the world, but the one place where is has existed longer than anywhere is Scandinavia. The earliest vikings lived in harmony with nature in the frozen North for centuries, learning to live with the land and find comfort in the simplicity. Who better to help us develop an enduring place in the Mountains but the Cabin Kings of the Scandinavia.

Process

From the very beginning we’ve been clear about our intent to build something super natural and…We asked our design team to come together
