The project is supported by: Interreg Sweden Norway, Region Jämtland Härjedalen & Tröndelag County Municipality

The site is under development.

How recreational homes are built and used affects nature, climate and local communities. Can we together find new solutions that create greater value – for both people and the environment?

Recabin brings together knowledge, good examples and practical solutions that are relevant to the entire value chain in a development project. From the planning phase to the use phase.

So that together we can start on the future tomorrow.

Building without losing nature

By using already degraded "grey areas" and combining with restoration, we can build cabins without losing nature - and perhaps even improving it.

Building in cycles

Circular recreational home development is about making better use of resources – building less new, using more of what we have, and keeping materials and buildings in circulation for as long as possible.

Building with nature's solutions

With nature-based solutions, we can build recreational homes that blend into the landscape, using nature's own processes and materials.

Building to give more back

Cabins can be a driving force for strengthening nature, climate and local communities. One must look at the whole picture and create projects that leave places in better condition than before.
