This Danish retreat designed by Norm Architects seamlessly blends with nature, offering breathtaking views and harmonious spaces. The Heatherhill Beach House is designed as a second home for a family where tranquillity immediately envelopes you. Inspired by traditional Danish summerhouses, it integrates with nature, boasting a sedum roof and cedar cladding.
Inside, natural materials like wood and brick create a warm, inviting atmosphere that connects you with the outdoors. Carefully designed axes connect each space, ensuring a harmonious flow throughout. The layout minimises impact on the landscape while maximising views.
An atrium offers a private outdoor space; inside, Douglas Fir brings the natural world to your fingertips. Dinesen Douglas flooring was chosen for central aspects of the house to amplify the connection with nature and create a soft grounding for bare feet passing through the connecting hallway, the bedrooms and the study.
Storage solutions maintain the home's simplicity, while a lounge nook and expansive views offer intimacy and openness. The kitchen, featuring a silver travertine island, continues the home's natural aesthetic. Throughout, a light palette enhances the airy feel, amplifying natural light. The bathrooms blend effortlessly with the home's aesthetic, offering framed views of the outdoors and even an outdoor shower for a sensorial connection with nature.
Designing for well-being, the home prioritises natural materials and colours, creating spaces that stand the test of time.
