House between the Trees / Peter Kjær Arkitekter

The house between the trees is a discreet T-shaped summer house with an archetypal roof shape, which hides many special details. The house is built in a breathable wooden construction with a special foundation and terrain deck that minimizes the use of concrete. The house is adapted to the lot's many trees and has a bedroom wing that screens the road, a family room to the west, and the kitchen at the meeting point between the two wings. From the kitchen and family room, there is access to two terraces, which capture the morning, midday, and evening sun. The kitchen forms a staircase to a loft that lets in the morning light from the east.
