The house in the waterfront has been transformed to a spacious and modern house for a family that wanted to create a home for the future.  Image Courtesy © Herman Dreyer

Hidden gutters and scarce transitions creates a defined volume that represents the architecture of our time inspired by the everyday house.

The site’s location and natural elements have been a key factor for the inside space design and organization. Opening the house to the magnificent view makes the feeling of distinction between the inside and outside is transparent and you experience the change of nature in light, weather and seasons from the inside. An addition to the existing structure is a living space that the residents use diligently. The material choice and design language is adapted from the character of the main house, but the structures are lower and more open to form a natural hierarchy.

At a time when sustainable measures and solutions should play crucial part of today’s architecture, this transformed residence is a comment on how to use the qualities and values that are in existing structures and spaces.
