During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, while the world stood still, carpenter Henrik Stokkeland and his wife Lene turned the time into an opportunity to create something special. They envisioned two treetop cabins in Ogna, Norway, designed to offer guests a place of escape and renewal. By winter of that year, their plan, in collaboration with architect Manuela Hardy, was set. By December 2021, Trekronå welcomed its first guests into Cabin Green and Cabin Yellow.
Each 15m² cabin offers space for up to five people, with cozy sleeping arrangements, kitchens, bathrooms, and beautiful airing balconies to take in the surrounding nature. These treetop cabins, nestled in the stunning landscapes of Ogna, are a peaceful retreat, just an hour from Stavanger and near the beach, forest, and mountains. Complete with underfloor heating, Trekronå is designed for a tranquil getaway in any season.
While described as treetop cabins, Trekronå on Ogna in Norway are architecturally designed 15m2 slices of paradise. They were the brainchild of carpenter Henrik Stokkeland and his wife, Lene, a social worker. Guests can choose to stay in Cabin Green or Cabin Yellow, with Cabin Yellow sitting slightly more elevated with glorious views of the trees and open fields.
Architect Manuela Hardy, forming part of Trekronå, designed Cabin Yellow and Cabin Green in 2020. Henrik and Lene brought them to life in the spring of 2021.
While the cabins are only 15m2, they are deceivingly spacious, with large open living areas and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. A skylight also lets in plenty of natural light.
The cleverly designed bunks mean there is room for up to five guests to sleep comfortably. There is a single bed on the top bunk, a double underneath, and a pull-out double bed tucked away underneath. The light wood blends in well with the rest of the cabin, making the space appear much larger and more open than it is.
Guests have plenty of space to rest, relax, and be at one with nature – whether they choose to spend time in Trekronå by themselves or with friends and family.
The kitchen nook may be small, but it has been cleverly designed to make the most of the available space. The curved cabinetry is a nice touch, with large drawers providing plenty of storage space.
Henrik and Lene equipped both Cabin Yellow and Cabin Green kitchens with everything overnight guests need. They both have two-plate cooktops, small fridges, coffee, cooking oil, and salt and pepper.
Despite being small cabins in a remote location, they both have their own bathrooms with a toilet, shower, and sink. These beautiful green and wood rooms ensure guests can remain self-contained during their stay.
