Transformation af landejendom
The transformation of a historic country estate in Hørsholm, shaped by a rich architectural history. The original main house was destroyed by fire in the 1970s, leading to the conversion of one of the estate’s former stable buildings into the present residence.
The conversion was carried out to a high standard, combining a timeless architectural expression with robust, tactile materials. Rough whitewashed brickwork, black-painted timber, steel elements and vaulted ceilings reference the building’s former function as a stable, allowing its agricultural heritage to remain legible within the home.

Since the 18th century, the facade on the street, as well as the interior, has undergone numerous modifications on the ground and first floors, in particular the creation of a slab that obstructs the inner courtyard and the creation of 2 shops on the ground floor.

The ground floor of the north facade serving the entrances has therefore been totally redesigned with a contemporary material that blends harmoniously with the historic facade preserved on the upper floors.
The purified and luminous interior atmosphere brings the preserved an... More
