In Rågeleje, Denmark, the office has completed a pair of identical low-cost summerhouses that reflect a commitment to material presence, spatial nuance, and environmental responsibility.

Each house measures 84 square meters and is defined by an honest, restrained palette. Housing a large living-space as well as two bedrooms, a bathroom, and modest entrance space, a storage room and two mezzanines under the roof, the houses feature vertical spruce cladding, left untreated, which will silver over time, blending gently into the coastal surroundings. Mahogany-framed windows—some detailed with aluminum—introduce a subtle refinement to the otherwise pared-back exterior. Inside, the use of painted profile boards with bead moldings on the walls and warm plywood across the ceilings creates a sense of comfort and tactility.

The two structures are carefully placed to preserve the site’s mature trees, reinforcing the studio’s ecological mindset. Built on screw foundations, the houses avoid damaging root systems and reduce carbon emissions—part of a wider ethos rooted in low-impact construction and long-term sensitivity to place.

A central wooden column anchors the interior layout, organizing the spaces with clarity while allowing for varied visual and spatial connections. Openings are precisely positioned to frame views and capture natural light throughout the day, giving the interiors a calm, shifting character. The result is architecture that speaks softly—grounded in atmosphere, proportion, and care.
