Bringing together dynamic building and material experimentation with traditional methods of craft, Bergen-based Todd Saunders has worked on cultural and residential projects right across Norway, as well as England, Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Canada.
Led by a strong contemporary design sensibility, his studio believes that design must play an important role in creating place, using form, materials and texture to help evoke and shape memory and human interaction. The office operates within existing natural as well as manmade contexts, with examples ranging from an award nominated dramatic viewpoint structure set amidst a rich protected landscape to several new-build houses within more traditional suburban settings.
Saunders has lived and worked in Bergen since 1996, following his studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax and McGill University in Montreal. Saunders has lectured and taught at schools in Norway, Scandinavia and Canada and was a visiting professor at The University of Quebec in Montreal and Cornell University in the USA. He continues to combine teaching with practice.
