Contemporary architecture in Norway often pays homage to vernacular buildings and tradition. At the same time, it also offers a Norwegian take on Nordic design. Created in response to the country’s harsh climate, many architectural projects have specially tailored designs that handle bitter winters, salt spray, and fierce coastal winds with ease. On this page, you can see some of the most intriguing and ingenious projects completed by contemporary architects from Norway. From more compact cottages to sprawling family homes, here you’ll discover a range of highly creative as well as distinctly contemporary houses.
