Utpust in Lårdal

Finally, we can lift the veil on our own architect-designed dream: Exhale.

Here, the boundaries between inside and outside are blurred with a 180-degree view and an accordion door that opens the entire front and turns the room into a part of nature.

Utpust is located in Lårdal in Telemark, which offers wild Norwegian nature and plenty of activities for those who want it!

With an integrated sauna, outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower, we have created a place that invites enjoyment, relaxed shoulders and peace of mind. A place where you can land, sit back and let the world go on without you for a little while.

Designed for peace and discretion

Our vision has been clear: to create a space where worries are eased as soon as you step over the threshold. Utpust is a state – a transition from everyday life to rest. Luxury in interaction with simplicity, comfort in the face of wild nature. A spectacular hotel room in the middle of nature with the soul of outdoor living; gas-powered outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower and outdoor toilet (private water toilet, but 20 meters from Utpust.)

Here you write the story. Undisturbed. Without distractions. Discreet. Just you, nature – and your breath.

Created by experience, desired by guests

After four years, six locations, and thousands of nights in our glass igloos, we’ve listened to every bit of feedback. The igloos hold a special place in the hearts of many of you, and are a showstopper of an experience. At the same time, we know that many of you long for even more comfort, warmth and luxury without losing your closeness to nature.

Through deep dives into guest insights, workshops with past guests, and collaboration with one of Norway’s leading architects, we have created something completely new. En opplevelse som både tar pusten fra deg – og gir deg den tilbake.

We have worked with architect Tina Hasaas from IBO architecture to realize our vision:

“It was important to build on Hvilepust’s values ​​– to be in harmony with nature in a simple, yet comfortable way.

An entire wall can be opened, so that inside and outside merge together. Here you get a warm refuge, while being close to nature with views in several directions. The colors in the surroundings have set the tone, and the building is kept in calm shades that provide a harmonious base. In a small space, we have created room for a big experience.“

Beautiful to the eye. Gentle on nature.

Utpust is built primarily from environmentally friendly materials and is a portable unit. It therefore leaves a minimal footprint on nature, but is experienced as spectacular in its expression.

An Art Gallery Like No Other

Who would have thought that a tiny outhouse, tucked away in the beautiful wilderness of Telemark, could hide an art gallery with an international flair?

At Utpust, we have a little surprise waiting for you! Inside, you’ll discover an intimate photography gallery featuring the work of internationally acclaimed photographer Ian Cox, also known as WallKandy.

Ian has an impressive background in the international art scene, including his role as Managing Director of the legendary London gallery Lazarides, founded by Banksy’s former manager. Over the past decades, he has documented some of the world’s most exciting street artists, with his photographs featured in publications such as The New York Times and The Guardian.

Today, Ian calls Lårdal home, where he has also found inspiration in the breathtaking landscapes of Telemark.

Here, international street art meets the Norwegian wilderness in the most unexpected place. All photographs are signed, framed and available for purchase.

A Little Escape from the World

At Utpust, a well-deserved break from everyday life awaits. Time to reconnect, unwind and simply do whatever you feel like doing. Slow mornings under the duvet, something lovely in your glass, the warmth of the sauna and nature right on your doorstep.

Here, you’re free from expectations, schedules to follow and things to get done.

Just relax. Everything else can wait.
