The summer house in Overby Lyng is placed on screw pile foundations so it hovers above the ground and lets the landscape flow freely underneath. This light foundation serves as a contrast to the many trees while ensuring minimal disturbance to the ground during the construction process.
The concept behind the house was to create a compact home that feels spacious despite the few square meters. We worked with small niches and an interesting flow of rooms that constantly open up to the surroundings. To the west you find the living and dining area where a large window offers a view directly into the woods. The kitchen is located to the south catching the best light of the day while the entrance and wardrobe face north. The two bedrooms are positioned to the east so you wake up with the morning sun.
There are no gutters or downspouts – instead we chose to let the water run freely off the seamed metal sheets that cover both the roof and the facade. The sheets are seamed every 27.5 cm and this gives the house a steady tight rhythm. Inside the atmosphere is entirely different and here you are met by warm plywood surfaces covering all walls. The floor is made of gray linoleum and it provides a calm surface that ties the rooms together.
Space is utilized to the fullest and the entire interior wall to the west is built as a large shelving unit which saves space and adds character to the room while providing plenty of built-in storage. Above the central bathroom a loft is situated to take advantage of the ceiling height and provide extra sleeping space. The construction is kept simple and cost-effective to stay within budget. The screw foundations support a cassette upon which the house is built as a classic post-and-beam construction. Only a single steel column in the middle of the house was needed to support the roof.
