The Iconic Nordic House is a book that strikingly showcases some of the most remarkable homes built in Scandinavia and Northern Europe over the past century, guiding the reader through the history and evolution of residential architecture in the region.

Written by Dominic Bradbury, a renowned chronicler of contemporary architecture, and accompanied by new photography from Richard Powers, the book features 40 signature projects from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. It includes iconic 20th-century examples from influential architects such as Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto, as well as contemporary residences that blend tradition with modern design.

One of the most compelling aspects of the book is the way it explores the relationship between architecture and the natural landscape; in many cases, homes are either harmoniously nestled into their surroundings or boldly stand apart from them, creating a powerful sense of place and identity.

The result is a work that not only documents and interprets defining examples of Nordic design but also provides inspiration for architecture enthusiasts, combining historical insight with high-quality imagery and text that highlights the importance and impact of these homes.
