In a climate ranging from cold, dark, and harsh to endless sun and crystal-clear skies, the houses of the Scandinavian countries stand out thanks to the ever-changing and dramatic natural light, balanced by an inherent sense of warmth. Today, Scandinavian architects draw influences from traditional techniques and natural materials, as well as from contemporary needs and evolving lifestyles. Structured in four chapters – rural retreats, coastal getaways, urban homes, and country houses – this catalog of more than forty of the best and most innovative Scandinavian houses includes works from a wide range of leading architects, such as Jon Danielsen Aarhus, Tham & Videgård, Snorre Stinessen, Reiulf Ramstad, and Todd Saunders. Organized by terrain to reveal the full variety of the landscape and its architectural challenges, the book offers new insights into living spaces that are both universal and characteristically Scandinavian. From country homes with traditional Scandinavian fireplaces, saunas, window seats, and courtyards, to remote retreats and artist studios, there are details and big ideas that can be applied to residential design anywhere. A report includes an addition of architectural plans.
