Fogo Island Studios: Isolated Geometry

modern-cabins-fogo-6
Just off the northeast coast of Newfoundland, Canada, lies one of the most tourist worthy places in the province � Fogo Island. Architect Todd Saunders has been commissioned to design a series of six artists� studios, scattered on isolated, rocky terrain locations on the island.
The main goal of this project was to rejuvenate the island through the arts and culture, while preserving the Islanders� traditions. I love how Saunders experimented with traditional architectural forms, methods and materials in such a unique location.

This studio reminds me of Fantastic Norway�s Cabin Vardehaugen, with its geometric polygonal-shaped structure and black and white exterior design, combining traditional and contemporary elements.
