15 Black Cabins That Make the Case for Dark Exteriors

4 of 15

The roughly 750-square-foot Cabin Son by architect Jon Danielsen Aarhus is situated on a sloping hillside overlooking the sea in Son, Norway. The glossy exterior features vertical spruce boards finished with a high-shine black stain. The eastern facade is tucked against the bedrock, which allows the residents privacy from neighboring homes.
