A Norwegian musician I follow lives in this place. What kind of building is this and where do I get one?

  1. Looks like a pretty basic A-frame cabin, where the lower part of the outer walls is covered by dirt.

    You can get one by building it yourself, or hiring a contractor to do it. It might be you can also buy a building kit for the purpose, depending on where you are located.

  2. Whos the artist? Looks like a custom build to me. Check out erik grankvist på YouTube. Everything is possible if you have the land to work on.

  3. This is on of the cheapest cabins it’s possible to make. A-frame construction functions both as walls and roof. The roof is first covered with birch bark or wood tiles and then covered with dirt on top. In modern cabins, bark is replaced with robust construction plastic that lasts a lot longer.

    Downside is that there is not much space inside due to the inclining walls.

  4. Just to add to what others are saying, this is not a common type of building. We tend to make our houses and cabins having vertical walls, and have for a very long time. That A-frame building looks cool looking and so does the guy, but not having vertical walls makes everyday life a bit difficult.

  5. Looks like a moden day version of the traditional Sami ‘jordgamme’ or ‘gamme’ to me.

  6. I’m not sure but this looks like a hytte, or cottage. People don’t usually live full time in these, they’re more like vacation homes. But idk
