A VIEW

Aurland Lookout :: Saunders Architecture
Aurland, Norway

Well, leave it to the Nords to transform something as simple as a scenic overlook into a breathtaking architectural intervention. Remaining true to traditional Nordic design, the Aurland Lookout by Saunders Architecture utilizes natural and locally sourced materials that celebrate the surrounding landscape. What I find most impressive is the architect's non-competitive collaboration with the awe inspiring location. Neither landscape or architecture is trying to be the other, rather they act as harmonious compliments that ultimately merge to create an even more impressive and memorable experience. Architecture at its finest.  Happy Monday :)
