The industrial exterior of this former cod factory in the Norwegian fishing village of Henningsvaer hides a hotel and a cultural hub that’s now a hotbed of minimalist Scandinavian design.

Trevarefabrikken is located in the Lofoten archipelago – a remote cluster of islands that may contain some of the most spectacular scenery in northern Europe, from mountain peaks to fjords and wild, windswept beaches & dazzling Northern Lights. The former carpentry factory and workshop is a key part of Henningsvaer’s maritime and industrial history, but was abandoned for a decade before being revived as a hotel and a community space.

Jonathan Tuckey Design pioneered the adaptive reuse of the building, retaining much of its existing architecture & some of the decaying machinery within the space. His studio took a restrained approach to the interiors, allowing the surrounding rocky landscape and sea views to remain the focus. The rooms are painted in soft green and have wooden shelves and shutters or yellow curtains.

Guests can take yoga classes, enjoy a session in the sauna or explore the Trevarefabrikken cafe, restaurant and pizzeria, with rooms starting from around £110 per night.
