Built by the Sea: Villas and Small Houses by Lund Hagem Architects, a showcase of private residences and summer houses in which the interplay between the built and unbuilt natural landscape achieves its maximum effect. Norway's Lund Hagem Arkitekter is celebrated for their unique relationship with nature. Established in 1990, the firm has staked their reputation on their unique sensitivity to the interaction between form, material and the existing surroundings. Impressions from the landscape and local buildings create a vocabulary they use as their basis for creating modern architecture rooted in the Nordic tradition. This book will capture the attention of both students and professionals alike, especially those who are interested in Nordic architectural solutions for domestic living in harmony with nature.
