Norwegian architects Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen found themselves at a familiar cross-roads for emerging architects.  At an early stage in their career, they found it difficult to find clients that would take a chance on young, unproven architects.  Instead of waiting for a chance to prove themselves, they made it happen on their own.  The Hardanger Summer Home is a self-initiated, self-financed project on a plot of land the duo purchased together.  The result is a simple, dramatic structure built into an amazing natural property in Norway.  We think they’ve proven their value as architects… how about you?
