The beautiful, green and almost maintenance-free holiday home

Architects Lotte and Peter Foght-Sørensen from AART wanted a simple, atmospheric holiday home on their natural plot by Skuldelev Ridge near Roskilde Fjord. A home for the family, situated in a small woodland clearing with views up the ridge.

With dark green steel profiles on both the roof and façade, the holiday home has been designed specifically for its setting. Using the same materials on the vertical façades and the 15-degree pitched roof gives the house a calm, sculptural appearance that blends naturally into the idyllic woodland clearing.

The choice of steel was also driven by the desire for minimal maintenance. Because the house is situated in woodland, algae and vegetation will naturally become part of the surface over time. On the green cladding, this weathering is not a problem but a quality that allows the house to become even more integrated with its surroundings.

The robust corrugated sheet also made it possible to use the same profile in a perforated version for the steel gates and ventilated outbuilding. This gives the house a cohesive appearance, with a subtle reference to the traditional agricultural buildings with corrugated sheeting that are also found in the area.

The exterior of the house is clad in dark green steel. Inside and on the terrace, the surfaces are finished in pale wood and shades of grey. Simple materials. Minimal maintenance. And the atmosphere of a holiday home that feels both natural and carefully considered.
