Office Inainn inserts timber restaurant module into Norwegian barn structure
By
Starr Charles
Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
Office Inainn has designed and inserted a timber-framed restaurant called Nikkakjøkken into an existing barn structure in Valldal, Norway. The restaurant was conceived as an independent timber module that serves as 'a second layer' to the original barn, minimizing impact to the pitched volume while creating a new dining space within the concrete and timber envelope.
