[Henrik Becker Architekt]
The house deliberately flirts with the archetypal image of a family home. However, at second glance you can see that there is not just one house under the cantilevered roof. The striking symmetry and the doubling of some basic elements reveal two separate living units that are separated by a wall along the ridge line.
You enter the house via a slightly raised, all-round wooden veranda. In the middle of the long side, a round dormer opens the eaves, which are drawn far down, and immediately emphasizes the entrance door. A central entrance on the ground floor leads directly to the living or dining room, which is located in the building corners. You can also reach the porch on the first floor below the dormer via the stairs. From there you enter the room and the gallery.
The various rooms and their relationship to the outside space are thought of consistently depending on their location in the building. The presence of the roof plays a decisive role. The living rooms on the ground floor strive outwards. They are horizontal and open through the floor-to-ceiling glazing over a corner. Their spatial limits are vaguely indicated by round supports. However, the space on the eaves side is only limited by the eaves roof line.
