Mork-Ulnes Architects

Operating between San Francisco and Oslo, Mork-Ulnes Architects designs remote mountain cabins and alpine residences defined by unified folded timber shells, board-formed concrete textures, and flush, climate-responsive glazing. The portfolio provides a clear technical reference when detailing continuous facade-to-roof cladding, resolving steep gable ribbon windows, or specifying wood-grain concrete finishes for high-altitude retreats.
