The house is both home and working space for the family. Composed of four modular sections, it is designed to evolve and adapt to the needs of a modern family. The modules are separated architecturally but connected in terms of use and practicality:
LOVE: The parents’ section
HUB: The heart of the house; contains the kitchen among other things
KIN: The children’s module, which can later be turned into a guest section
WORK: Office-in-the-home, located in a separate building
In the interior design, the emphasis is on elegant solutions with regard to technology, energy efficiency, style and quality materials. The Dinesen Douglas plank floor ties everything together and lends the innovative house a warm and natural ambience. Furthermore, the floor is so durable that it can be part of new developments for many years to come.
