Vincent Wolf House | Long Island,New York | Vincent Wolf

The New York based architect Vincent Wolf built a summer house on the slopes of Montauk on Long Island. From most of the rooms, there is a spectacular view over the ocean.

Summer house, Hardanger,Norway | Saunders Architecture

A self-initiated and self-financed project. The main dilema for emerging architects is finding clients willing to take a chance with young, enthusiastic architects that have limited experience? When we first started our firm, instead of looking for clients we went looking for plots, to build an experimental structure. Doing this, we could pursue our architectural vision in line with our convictions: uncomprimising, original and respect for the landscape.
Principal Architects: Todd Saunders & Tommie Wilhelmsen
