EXTERIOR

The LHM 9 MAX cabin is designed to harmonize with its mountain surroundings, partially embedded into the natural slope for both stability and architectural character. The terrain integration not only reduces visual impact but also enhances energy efficiency and privacy, anchoring the home securely within the landscape.

The facade combines traditional log construction with contemporary materials, including natural stone cladding that frames selected wall sections and provides a grounded, tactile contrast to the wood. The terrace, extending from the main living area, features a stone surface and frameless glass railings, offering unobstructed views while maintaining a clean, refined profile. Large windows under the pitched roofline bring the outdoors into the interior, maximizing light and connecting every space to the natural panorama.

This balance of robust Nordic materials and architectural precision defines the cabin’s exterior identity—rooted in nature, built for comfort, and designed with longevity in mind.

INTERIOR FLOOR PLANS

The ground floor offers a seamless flow between living, dining, and relaxation areas, highlighted by an open-plan kitchen and living space with soaring ceilings and expansive windows that fill the interior with natural light. A central fireplace serves as the heart of the home, perfect for cozy winter nights. The adjoining dining area features ample space for gatherings, with direct access to an outdoor terrace.

On this level, you’ll also find two beautifully designed bedrooms, including a spacious ensuite master bedroom with a private bathroom and sauna for ultimate relaxation. An additional guest bathroom enhances convenience. The ground floor also includes a practical laundry and utility space, ensuring a well-organized and functional home.

One of the most striking features is the attached two-car garage, designed with an interior glass wall, allowing the vehicles to be visible from inside the home—a bold architectural statement.

The second floor is dedicated to privacy and comfort, with two additional bedrooms that offer serene mountain views. A second living/lounge area provides a versatile space for relaxation, entertainment, or additional sleeping arrangements. A standout feature is the open ceiling design, which enhances the spaciousness and allows for a seamless connection between the floors.

An additional bathroom with a luxurious freestanding bathtub adds to the upper floor’s comfort and convenience. The design ensures that every guest enjoys their own personal space while maintaining an inviting, communal atmosphere.

FLOORS&STAIRS

The interiors are elevated by LHM Exclusum flooring—an exclusive, wide-plank parquet crafted from natural oak, measuring 250 mm in width and 21 mm in thickness, with a 6 mm solid oak wear layer. Finished in the Graphite/Basalt Grey tone, this flooring is glued directly onto the concrete subfloor, ensuring exceptional stability, acoustic comfort, and a warm, tactile feel underfoot. The same oak finish continues onto the bespoke staircase, designed in matching tone for a seamless visual flow. Made from natural oak, the stairs are complemented by tempered double-layer glass railings and integrated LED lighting, forming a refined architectural element that combines precision, functionality, and quiet elegance.

KITCHEN

The kitchen in the LHM 9 MAX cabin is custom-designed to balance craftsmanship with performance. Built with veneered brushed oak cabinetry and solid oak accents, it features premium Blum soft-close hinges and Legrabox drawers in carbon black with integrated fiber matting. A Dekton Laurent stone worktop continues seamlessly into a custom-made sink, paired with a brushed dark platinum Dornbracht faucet. Discreet flush sockets, LED lighting in display cabinets, and an integrated recycling system add practical functionality.

A full suite of Gaggenau 400 Series appliances includes a combi-steam oven, microwave, coffee machine, vacuum and warming drawers, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and a flex induction cooktop with downdraft ventilation. The space connects to a 3200 mm dining table, made from veneered brushed oak with a 60 mm thick top and a bespoke metal base framed in oak—a seamless continuation of the kitchen’s material language.

FURNITURE

The living spaces of the LHM 9 MAX cabin are furnished with carefully selected, custom-made pieces that reflect the same precision and material continuity found throughout the interior. In the living room, the focal point is a bespoke wine cabinet, crafted from veneered brushed oak to match the flooring and wall panels. Designed with a minimalist oak frame and frameless clear glass doors, it features bronze wine holders, soft-close Blum hardware, and integrated vertical LED lighting that highlights the collection like a display piece. Every detail—from the proportions to the lighting—is designed to elevate the experience of mountain living.

The shelving system and additional cabinetry in the lounge area are made from the same brushed oak veneer, paired with discreet lighting and refined bronze elements for contrast. A custom coffee table in Marmoarc stone adds weight and texture to the space, complemented by seating from Minotti and Rolf Benz, combining comfort with sculptural form.

Across the home, materials and finishes remain cohesive: solid oak trays, toned grey glass, and vintage nickel accents recur in display units, wardrobes, and vanities. Every element—from the soft furnishings to the detailing on door handles—is curated for timeless functionality and tactile warmth, with no compromise on quality or consistency.

HEATING

The cabin will feature underfloor heating throughout the first floor and in the second-floor bathroom, powered by an energy-efficient, eco-friendly ground-source heat pump—ensuring warmth, comfort, and low electricity costs year-round. The additional rooms on the second floor are equipped with sleek black wall-mounted panel heaters, combining functionality with modern design. For added convenience, remote heating control comes as a standard feature, allowing effortless adjustment for a perfectly cozy environment at any time.

CONSTRUCTION METHOD

Constructed using the traditional Norwegian technique of horizontally stacked logs, meticulously interlocked at corners, LHM homes epitomizes architectural finesse. Handcrafted ‘lafte knots’ stand as distinctive markers of LHM mountain homes, defining their unique character. The precision in construction is evident—two parallel walls exhibit uniform log heights, while intermediate walls elevate logs by half a log’s height, creating a visually captivating rhythm.

In line with centuries-old practices, mountain homes feature turf-covered roofs, applying weight to naturally compress the logs for a snug fit. While the logs inherently offer insulation, the integration of additional insulating materials, formerly moss and now sophisticated substances like cotton, wool, or linen, enhances thermal efficiency. Meticulously filling the cavities between logs, these materials ensure a blend of historical authenticity and modern comfort, defining these homes’ architectural integrity and energy efficiency.
