115° House was designed around a single guiding principle: creating an optimal relationship between people and nature. The villa derives its name from the distinctive 115-degree angle through which the volume opens itself to the landscape. This subtle gesture allows the house to embrace its surroundings while making the most of the site. At the same time, the building gently turns away from the road, making privacy an integral part of the architecture.
A Volume Shaped by Sightlines
The design is rooted in simplicity and precision. The villa consists of three levels, with carefully considered sightlines, natural daylight and spatial experience forming the foundation of the design. The characteristic angle in the volume creates a variety of perspectives towards the surrounding greenery and establishes a natural transition between the home and its landscape.
Materials That Create Calm
The façade is clad in handcrafted brick by Petersen Tegl. By partially recessing the window frames behind the masonry, a calm and monolithic architectural expression is achieved. Large glazed openings reflect the surrounding landscape and strengthen the connection between inside and outside, while maintaining a high level of privacy for the residents.
Architecture Framing Nature
Inside, a restrained palette of concrete, wood, glass and plaster forms the foundation of the interior. The architecture has been intentionally designed to remain understated, allowing the changing seasons, natural daylight and surrounding woodland to become an active part of daily life. The focus is not on the house itself, but on the landscape it inhabits.
