Luxury Living in Nature

Building on this protected riverside site demanded strict adherence to landscape conditions, met here through careful siting and the use of natural, durable materials. The design reinterprets the traditional saddle roof as the defining gesture of the entire house rather than a mere covering, giving the volume an informal, grounded presence.

Inside, the dining area forms the pivot of the plan, offering a clear sightline through to the woodland beyond and anchoring a mezzanine used as a play space for children of different ages. The kitchen sits as the enclosed heart of the home, flanked on one side by the dining room and on the other by a living space that opens toward the higher wooded terrain.

Every brick used on the façades and roof was handmade at the Danish factory Petersen Tegl, each carrying subtle variations in shape, texture and colour that give the house its rugged, tactile finish.
