At first glance, the house almost intertwines with the surrounding nature. Perhaps it's the facade's clean lines and honest elements like cedar wood planks and large glass sections that create the serene expression, blending so beautifully with nature. The traditional, thatched roof undoubtedly contributes to the house's atmospheric exterior, which, despite its classic elements, is only 5 years old.
On the other hand, the house's owner, architect Poul Schülein, and his family have owned the plot and other houses on it for approximately 100 years. Therefore, it was with great knowledge of the location in the West Jutland dunes that the architect was able to design his own dream home. A house that, of course, is imbued with finesse and an appreciation for noble materials and unique details, such as a sightline stretching through the entire house and a vaulted ceiling that gives a sense of spaciousness.
"The house has an open floor plan with continuous sight lines from one end to the other. The core of the house contains the toilet and shower, and the two main sections of the house are connected by glass doors," explains Poul Schülein about the floor plan.
Openness is a key element of the house. Not only in the floor plan, but also in the connection between the exterior and interior spaces. Between the house and nature. The house is designed so that you look out into nature when you're indoors, and conversely have a view through the house when you're outside.
For the kitchen in the large, open living space and for the house's bathrooms, which are kept in calm brown and grey tones, the architect chose SP handles, which are easily recognizable by their simple design language. Why did he choose it? "I learned it from home," explains Schülein, who grew up with the timeless faucet design and has since used it in a number of his projects. The material is always untreated Brass, which patinates gently over time. "They are practical. You don't actually have to think about caring for them. They just get nicer with use," says the architect.
