TODD SAUNDERS was born in 1969 in Gander, Newfoundland (Canada). He obtained his M.Arch from McGill University (Montreal, Canada, 1993–95) and a Bachelor of Environmental Planning from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1988–92). He has worked in Austria, Germany, Russia, and Norway (since 1996). Saunders is a guest professor at Cornell University of Architecture NY since 2013, and has been a part-time teacher at the Bergen Architecture School, since 2001. He has lectured at various architecture and design schools in Scandinavia, Canada, and England.
Bringing together dynamic building and material experimentation with traditional methods of craft, Saunders Architecture has worked on cultural and residential projects across Norway, as well as England, Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Canada. Led by a strong contemporary design sensibility, the studio believes that architecture must play an important role in creating place, using form, materials and texture to help evoke and shape memory and human interaction. His work includes the Aurland Lookout (with Tommie Wilhelmsen, Aurland, 2006); Villa Storingavika (Bergen, 2004–07); Villa G (Hjellestad, Bergen, 2007–09); Sogn og Fjordane Summer Cabin (Rysjedalsvika, 2007–10); and Solberg Tower and Park (Sarpsborg, Østfold, 2010), all in Norway. He currently realized the Fogo Island Studios, four of which have been completed out of a program of six (Fogo Island, Newfoundland, Canada, 2010–11), and has also completed the Fogo Island Inn (2014) in the same location.
