VEGA CABIN

Set amongst granite outcroppings on an island near the Norwegian Sea, Vega Cabin is a humble getaway that blends in while standing out. The lower level is setup like a large open gallery around a stone hearth, while above, the bedrooms and family areas offer smaller, more intimate settings. Both floors feature linseed oil-painted pine paneling with untreated birch details, large windows facing in three directions, thus offering unique views, and a clean, modern aesthetic.

Katharine Dexter McCormick — known more commonly while she lived as Mrs. Stanley McCormick — was a graduate from MIT at a time when very few women were enrolled there. In addition to being part of the movement for women’s suffrage in the United States, she went on to use her knowledge in biology to help find care for her husband, who was mentally ill, as well as to fund research into artificial contraceptives. When she inherited her husband’s estate after his death, she used her money to almost singlehandedly fund the development of the first reliable, effective oral contraceptive.

Here’s a link to our notes and research.
