Summer House
Jutland, Denmark

A Nordic summer house under a deep blue sky surrounded by green foliage.

The timber and glass Summer House, for SHL partner Bjarne Hammer, is located in a wooded area, at the tip of a promontory, a few minutes walk from the beach.

The cottage is comprised of two rectangular structures, a larger communal volume and a smaller alcove, that are closely connected
The high-ceilinged communal volume contains a free-standing kitchen, a dining and living area and a patio.
The smaller volume, representing the functional axis, is “punched” into the north-west facing wall.

Floor to ceiling glass panels on the south-west facade, that can be opened with ease, opens the house to the patio that runs the entire length of the structure.

The alcove, with it’s open access to the communal volume and nature, is defined by three compactly integrated sleeping spaces as well as bathroom/toilet and cupboard niches.
The floor level is lifted one step over the main volume to define the transition between the big communal volume and the sleeping alcoves.

The house is like a wooden box with both the interior and exterior clad in boards of Siberian Lark. The pale concrete kitchen counters, together with a polished concrete inlay in the floor in the communal room, create a contrast to the warm glow of the wood.
