Renovation & extension: The Scandinavian living

This project focuses on the renovation and extension of a charming villa in suburban Copenhagen. The design carefully integrates a new structure with the existing layout, preserving the warmth and character of a traditional Danish home. 

Sustainable materials were thoughtfully incorporated, aligning with the goal of revitalizing the old building rather than opting for new construction.

A new bedroom, entrance, and living room/orangerie are added to enhance the spatial flow and functionality of the home.

The result is a harmonious blend of history and modern living, showcasing the elegance of Scandinavian design while emphasizing sustainability and comfort.

The existing house

This project focuses on revitalizing a 1960s house, enhancing its practicality and visual charm.

The small storage building will be replaced by a glass/enclosed living room, designed to capture natural light

The renovation also extends to the façade, roof, garden, and outdoor spaces, bringing a modern style and look while respecting the home's original character.

The existing house, with its two bedrooms and small living area, will be expanded to include a spacious master bedroom, a redesigned entrance, a larger bathroom, and additional living space for enhanced comfort.

A beautiful glass/enclosed living room, designed to capture natural light and provide a space to enjoy all year round and directly connected to the outdoors.
