The shape of the house was conceived as a vision of a flock of migrating black birds. Four of these birds land on the plot; each of them finding their own spot on the ground.

These four ”birds” became the house’s four main volumes which contain a guest annex, living room, kitchen, dining space and master bedroom. The four main volumes make up the body of the summerhouse. All other additional rooms (children’s room, bathrooms, storage, sauna etc.) are located at the back of these four volumes.

A glass corridor with views of both the sea and the arrival area connects the guest annex to the main building. The summerhouse is modular with a wooden main structure. The façade is vertically mounted cladding suggesting Scandinavian realism and respect for the surrounding houses.

The roof green sedum, Upon arrival, you immediately have contact with Sejerø Bay and the horizon. A trademark of my work is a contextualized approach to the environment and the flow from living space to exterior.

The terrain is sloping. The four main volumes have been placed on the site with a façade-line and garden wall that follows the lines of the terrain, while also providing natural shelter from the wind. Interior materials include triple pane thermal glass, oak parquet wood or acid washed concrete flooring and a front door in solid oak.

The kitchen is a Danish design kitchen from Svane Kitchen featuring black stone composite taple top and white painted veneer caninet doors with an overhead hanging extractor hood which doesn´t block the magnificent view to the ocean. All bathrooms have floor cladded with Italian granite panels and sinks in white composite material and with iconis Danish Vola water taps in mat brushed steel
