Visual connection
“BlokHus” is a private holiday home situated in the northwestern part of Denmark. It has a spectacular view over the coast.
The climate in this area is harsh with constant winds, and one of the primary goals of the design of the house is to allow for splendid views while still providing wind protection.
“The courtyard is the heart of the house, allowing for dining, hangout and outdoor shower disregarding the strong winds. ”
Therefore, the house is organized as a rectangle surrounding an interior courtyard. The courtyard is the “heart” of the house allowing for dining, hangout and outdoor shower disregarding the strong winds. The living room, facing the sea, is designed as a transparent space to allow for ocean view from the courtyard.
Along the façades of the living room integrated seats gives you the possibility of “laying in the meadow” while overlooking at the sea.
