Interior design with Alta Quartzite
Indoors, slate is laid as a floor covering, providing a robust yet elegant surface that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. The natural texture and subtle colours of the slate give the room a warm and inviting feel, while also contributing to a modern style. The ceiling is also clad in Alta Quartzite, which provides a unique visual effect and creates a sense of height and spaciousness. The combined use of slate on both the floor and ceiling provides a holistic and complete design, where the natural material ties together the various elements of the cabin.
Exterior aesthetics and functionality
The exterior of the cabin is also clad in Alta Quartzite, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also extremely functional. The slate is resistant to weather and wind, making it an ideal choice for a cabin located so close to the sea. The natural stone gives the cabin a timeless feel, while also blending into the surrounding landscape. The grayish color of the slate complements the green surroundings and blue water, creating a harmonious balance between the building and nature.
An oasis for calm and reflection
The cabin is not only a place for recreation, but also an oasis for peace and reflection. With large windows that let in plenty of natural light, one can enjoy the stunning view of the sea and the mountains in the background.
