The narrow, sloping plot between two roads in a forested landscape comprises interconnected volumes. Two red buildings extend north and south of the original house, creating what the architects describe as three red houses in a row, separated by green spaces; one outdoor and planted, the other indoor and facing west toward the trees. These transitional rooms bring light, landscape, and seasonal change deep inside. Externally, a subtle palette of reds links timber, brick, and steel, while a blue door and white window frames nod to the house’s past. Inside, oak, ash, concrete, painted surfaces, and brass details blend Nordic tradition with a forward-looking design.

At the heart of the composition sits a glazed winter garden, where Oak Classic, laid in a Herringbone pattern, grounds the space with warmth and rhythm. The floor’s geometry lends quiet structure to a room defined by openness, acting as a mediator between old and new architecture. Throughout the house, oak continues as an architectural element rather than a surface alone. Bespoke Oak Classic built-in furniture and a solid Oak-clad wall with a complementary staircase, all installed by local craftsmen, Viftrup & Pettersen, finely integrate transitions, reinforcing a sense of continuity across the varied volumes.
