A smattering of ice fishing around Chicago and the rebuilding of perch fishing on southern Lake Michigan lead this sprawling raw-file Midwest Fishing Report, there’s also the first mention of coho in 2023.
Stellar views, local pine, and a Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired design combine in a compact cabin perched high in the Kvitfjell Mountains.
After years of working at Oslo- and San Francisco–based Mork Ulnes Architects, Norwegian architect Erling Berg recently launched his own practice and his first project is a cozy cabin with a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic and a thoughtful eco-sensitive design.
Cross-country skiing tracks are located along the south-facing elevation of Kvitfjell Cabin. They connect to the downhill slopes of the surrounding Kvitfjell ski resort.
The cabin is clad in untreated, locally sourced pine that will develop a silvery-gray patina over time.

Resting atop Kvitfjell in Norway is the cozy Kvitfjell Cabin that spans 26 meters long allowing for more views of the neighboring mountaintops and the horizon. Kvitfjell (Norwegian for “White Mountain”) is a ski resort created for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, making it an ideal locale for a family retreat. Designed by Erling Berg, the mountain cabin is built out of local pine wood with an exterior and roof left untreated so it will natural age into a grey color over time.
Vertical wooden slats are randomly placed adding visual interest to the cabin’s unfinished exterior walls.
