Article source: lenschow & pihlmann Four small houses enclosing a central courtyard is the basic frame like structure for this summer residence by the shore of mainland Denmark. The exterior of the house is modest- even slightly introverted – but entering the courtyard reveals a spatially open house with a warm pinewood interior. Glass doors and sliding partitions ensures visual contact between rooms across the courtyard and also provides a clear and unhindered view over the bay.  Image Courtesy © Hampus Berndtson

A narrow road leads to the house, which is placed amongst other summerhouses and surrounded by bushes, pine and fir trees. The four pitched roofs blend in with the surrounding summerhouses and the closed facade with sliding shutters in front of the windows gives the house an anonymous outer appearance.

Glass surrounds the inner courtyard which creates a continuous interior space with the more private spaces situated as closed boxes around the courtyards periphery. in each room there is a private exit leading to an intimate outdoor area shielded by the surrounding bushes and trees.

A polished concrete floor with exposed aggregate provides a robust surface to handle the indoor/outdoor use of the house and the walls of pinewood sheets lends warmth to the interior.

Various possibilities of connecting the rooms across the central outdoor space in the middle make for a multi functional house that provides a second home for the two owners both in private and when they are joined by their big family.
