House with a hidden atrium
Markus Linderoth
A traditional 1950s Danish cottage, given new architectural functionality through playful shifts in height and space.
On the northwestern shore of the island of Zealand, 70 km from Copenhagen, a 1950s cottage rests on a slope with a sweeping view of the bay. The cottage was recently expanded with a freestanding addition. The house now consists of four spaces of varying heights, arranged to create a hidden atrium in the middle. The interior walls are covered with plywood with various veneers, and have strategically placed windows that frame the treetops outside. The transformation of a simple cottage into a sophisticated, functional architectural structure reflects Wastberg+’s philosophy: respecting and retaining eternal values while acknowledging and making the best of the inevitable requirements of a new era.
