Earth, Sky & Water: Houses in the Nordic Style by Mette Lange showcases 15 serene and beautifully crafted homes that reflect the harmony between nature and architecture. These projects, set in remote Scandinavian landscapes, offer an escape into the tranquil beauty of the Nordic wilderness. Mette Lange's designs prioritize natural materials and a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on comfort and sustainability. Divided into three sections—By the Water, In the Forest, and In the Countryside—this book explores how her architecture is deeply connected to the surrounding environment. Through first-person insights, Mette details her unique design process, which begins with camping on-site to immerse herself in the landscape before creating her visions. The stunning photography within the book not only highlights the architectural details but also emphasizes the importance of material choice in creating a seamless blend between the home and its surroundings. From rustic retreats to elegant Scandinavian summer houses, the book is both a visual delight and an inspiration for those looking to design in harmony with nature. In addition to her work in the Nordic region, Mette’s passion for social responsibility is evident in her projects in India, where she has designed schools for migrant children. This cross-cultural experience informs her approach to sustainable, socially conscious architecture in Denmark. Featuring a foreword by renowned architecture writer Kenneth Frampton, this book is an essential read for both aspiring architects and those who dream of a peaceful, nature-centered home.
