Details and variation
CEBRA has created mobility in the house through difference. Just by looking at the house’s cedar cladding one can see whether one is looking at the main building or an extension – the main building is clad with horizontally boards, while the facades of the extensions consist of vertical boards of varying width. Up and down. Small windows become large ones, broad boards become narrow ones and vertical becomes horizontal.

The light
The most varied light and the best view are on the top floor. Here it is the view that determines where the balcony is placed. In the roof, four VELUX roof windows placed in continuation of each other let a broad band of daylight into the sitting room. Large floor-to-ceiling windows frame the view. The largest window section with the door to the balcony is angled vertically on the face, which produces a quirky effect, as though it is the window itself that is sloping. A small window in the smallest room captures the garden from a seldom seen angle and leads the eye to green and verdant nature as in a landscape painting from the 1800s, seen from above.
