Two villas - Flesaasveien

Elegantly placed and intertwined with the sloping terrain, the two villas on Flesaasveien have a simple yet striking volume.

The fireplace, centered where... More

Skigard Hytte embeds the practicalities of Scandinavian design within the rural vernacular

Architects are inherently creative, but often creative ambitions need to be tempered according to client preferences and expectations. So when San-Francisco based husband and wife team Casper and Lexie Mork-Ulnes of Mork Ulnes Architects designed their family ski retreat in the Norwegian Kvifjell resort area, they were able to push their creative boundaries with a freedom rarely afforded when working for clients.  Credit: Bruce Damonte The result, raised mountain cabin Skigard Hytte (‘log cottage’) is a unique and innovative project informed by the local landscape but designed with functional living in mind.  Life ‘above’ for humans in the cabin is harmonized with life ‘underneath’ th...
