- More about New Nordic Houses
The homes of the Nordic countries are lifted by ever-changing and dramatic natural light balanced by an intrinsic sense of warmth. Nordic architects today are as much informed by vernacular traditions and natural materials as their forebears, but the most recent generation reflects a new appetite for spatial exploration and changing lifestyles. This survey of over forty of Scandinavias finest and most innovative houses features work by a broad spectrum of leading architects and is structured by terrain to reveal the full diversity of the landscape and its architectural challenges.

In a climate that spans from cold, dark, and unforgiving to endless sun and crystalline skies, the homes of the Nordic countries are lifted by ever-changing and dramatic natural light, balanced by an intrinsic sense of warmth. Nordic architects today are as much informed by vernacular traditions and natural materials as their forebears, but the most recent generation of practitioners reflects a new appetite for spatial exploration and changing lifestyles.
Divided into four chapters – rural cabins, coastal retreats, town houses, and country homes – this survey of over forty of Scandinavia's finest and most innovative houses features work by a broad spectrum of leading architects, such as Jon Danielsen Aarhus, Tham & Videgård, Snorre Stinessen, Reiulf Ramstad, and Todd Saunders. Structured by terrain to reveal the full diversity of the landscape and its architectural challenges, the book is full of fresh thinking about living spaces that are at once universal and distinctively Nordic. From country houses complete with traditional Nordic fireplaces, saunas, window seats, and verandas, to remote cabin hideaways and artists' studios, there are details and grand ideas that can be applied to residential design anywhere. A reference section includes an appendix of architectural plans.
