New mountain village on the Turu mountain in Flå (NO)

Turufjell in Flå is Norway’s newest mountain destination, and the fastest growing one. In connection with the ski resort, we are building Turutun, a village with holiday apartments, squares, and shops.The buildings are organized in clusters, like traditional settlements, which together form a compact mountain village at the bottom of the ski slopes. With an increasing demand for holiday homes, it is critical that the development of new areas is carried out with minimized impact on nature and with strong roots in the local community. The design and materiality draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape and local building traditions, combined with references from alpine architecture. At the same time, the project is innovative in its combination of sustainability and how to build the holiday homes of the future.When you live in a village, you are part of something bigger - a community, a society. It makes sense for the nature that we group the holiday homes together in one area, but it also makes sense for the people. With Turufjell, we are creating a destination where people can come together in a small community, while having the vast, untouched nature just outside the door.
