This contemporary villa design by Norway architect Todd Saunders of Saunders Architecture is futuristic, fashion-forward and functional, all in one fell swoop. The sleek contemporary villa in Hjellestad, Norway blends traditional Nordic architecture with an innovative edge in what has become a local landmark of modern architecture. The contemporary, white facade is sculptural and dotted with lots of windows which flood interiors with natural light. The structure takes shape in three main volumes, stacked asymmetrically to form architecturally interesting interiors and equally exceptional outdoor living areas designed to withstand the oft-harsh northern climate. Interiors reflect the same modernist sentiment of the exterior, with an open-concept main floor hosting the family room, three children’s bedrooms and a play room, an amazing kitchen, the den and the master bedroom, all surrounded by an exterior terrace and stairway leading to the garden below.
