Less is More at Norway’s Minimalist Juvet Landscape Hotel

We're excited to share yet another study in classic minimalist design, this time from <a href="http://www.jsa.no/photos/Juvet2/index.html">Jensen &amp; Skodvin</a>. Their Juvet landscape hotel in West Norway features 10 tiny rooms that fit snuggly into their picturesque surroundings with virtually no environmental footprint - like these <a href="http://inhabitat.com/matali-crasset-creates-living-pods-for-modern-artists-in-the-forests-of-france/">adorable pods from France</a> and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/outlandia-artist-studio-treehouse-in-the-lush-scottish-highlands/">this incredible treehouse studio</a>. Intrinsically respectful of its mind-blowing natural surroundings and light on materials, this boutique hotel comprises the epitome in eco-architecture. But beware! It costs a hefty €300 to spend a night.

Each of ten rooms nestled into the lush surroundings are hidden from one another

The rooms have at least one wall of glass that bridges the gap between the interior and natural exterior.

The rooms act as a sort of camera and the glass is the lens. What is happening outside takes precedence over the minimalist design.

The rooms are only 30 square meters and constructed out of soft, fast-growing pine.

The designers deliberately used the bare minimum for interior furnishings: apart from a lamp, bed, and a couple of chairs, there are no objects that detract from the natural surroundings.

Recognizing that nature takes precedence, the owner Knut Slinning had the houses built on stilts. That way, they can be removed if necessary.

It just doesn't get much better than this: sauna, pine, and forest all around.

The lodgings are as minimalist as it gets - but who needs ultra fancy with a view like that?
