The project proposes a cradle to cradle transformation of an existing house in Denmark. The main idea for rethinking the villa from 1978 involves both an external design makeover, while performing an energy renovation. The project has positive effects in the indoor environment, provides more daylight, natural ventilation, and facilitates transitions between inside and outside
The project design also contains a new envelope, and new roof and facades with wooden cedar cladding. The new house shows a homogeneous design and expression of a modern scandinavian architecture.
A new balcony towards the west is integrated in the roof. A continuous skylight in the center of the roof and facade creates daylight optimization and tremendous views over the garden and landscape.
The materials used in the renovation project is chosen from an environmental and sustainable point of view.
