On the south west coast of Bergen, Norway, architect Todd Saunders and Thomas Pfeffer of Saunders Architecture had designed a Futuristic Villa G, this beautifully minimalist home design. The villa design have been on a quest to come up with a Norwegian Contemporary, fashion-forward and functional villa in Hjellestad Road, Hjellestad, Norway. This is a windy spot, and Villa G is sited so as to enclose the external terrace and create a sheltered outdoor space, maximising any available sunlight. The large windows bring the rapidly shifting light into the heart of the living spaces, while the client has specified bold pieces of best furniture design and colourful modern art to counter the white walls and oak floors.

The Villa G is a little slice of the Hamptons on the North Sea, a white wood-clad structure that manages to be both sculptural and hard-edged, rising up above the sand dunes and scrubs of Hjellestad, just outside Bergen. The Futuristic Villa G Contractor: Bygg AS. Photo by Jan Lillebo.

The house is a happy blend of the high tech and the traditional, with frameless glass walls serving as room dividers in the master bedroom and balustrades for the internal staircase, combined with randomly patterned wooden cladding on the exterior.
