COUNTRYSIDE RESIDENCE IN MOLS BJERGE

A rural property in Mols Bjerge, Jutland, designed for a family of four.

The primary ambition of the project was to develop an architectural language that does not appear alien to its context.

The site is located in Mols Bjerge, a historic agricultural landscape characterized by traditional thatched houses.

The project consists of a main house, a barn, and a guesthouse.

ARRANGMENT

The guesthouse is organized around two atrium courtyards, creating sheltered outdoor spaces and providing protection from the strong prevailing winds.

The house is structured around a modular system that references a traditional post-and-beam construction, where the building envelope, windows, and insulation are placed within the structural grid.

The envelope and insulation are made from a locally sourced straw-based product called Ecococon, produced within a 30 km radius of the site.
