Nordic Wonder

Growing up in Central Europe and spending a good part of the first 20 years of my life traveling the continent, my architectural aesthetics were infused with all sorts of different styles: the ancient, romantic buildings of Rome, Florence and Venice; the playful designs of Spain; the straight-forward, functional structures of Switzerland and Germany; and finally – the ultra-modern, sober edifices of Scandinavia.

Over the last 8 years of my professional career as architectural photographer then, one important fact dawned on me: buildings are the mirrors of the people who live in them. So as much as the fire and passion of the Southern Europe people are reflected in their lush and soulful buildings, so also is the cool, precise and disciplined character of the Northern people echoed in the spaces they chose to surround themselves with.

Enter a stunning contemporary home in the Broken Top development of Bend, Oregon. This beauty is owned by a lovely couple of Icelandic heritage (and skillfully furnished by the talented folks from Complements Home Interiors). Sooo – can you see it?
