The Dune House
Hvide Sande, Denmark
Project Featured on Apr 01, 2020
The DUNE HOUSE is an one-off contemporary house located on the edge of the 7,000km coastline in Denmark. The site enjoys un-obscured view across the outstanding beauty of the landscape. The client briefed us that he has a form of mirror-touch synesthesia. He feels the sensation of the wind in the dunes as an extraordinary calming experience. That's why they are curtains and ceiling windows in every room to emphasize the movement of wind.
You enter the house via the »Elevator Room« which functions as a vestibule and gallery. The cross-formed building is adjusted to the four cardinal directions north, south, east and west. Light, however, is used as the fifth cardinal direction in the building. The angle of light formed between the light/subject axis changes throughout the day and determine a cinematic mood and message.
Curtains empower the shadowplay of the scene. But above that they are a medium for the element of wind. The philosopher Hermann Schmitz called wind in his lectures as half-thing (Halbding). »If wind is gone, we don’t know where it’s gone but we can feel the absence and presence on our bodies.« Half-things create atmospheres and give a sense of corporality.
