Precedent: a Norwegian boathouse

Today I saw an interesting building in Dezeen magazine's blog. It is a transformed boathouse in Norway by TYIN tegnestue Architects, and I think it captures some of the qualities I explored in my project: the ruggedness, the closeness to nature, the simple form, the flexible design, the symbolic re-use of old materials, the contemporary interpretation of traditional detailing, the granite, the austerity. 

Below are some of the images - for more, see the full post from Dezeen's blog here.
