A simple oasis with natural materials and bold contrasts

The holiday home was not intended to be traditional, but rather modern, simple and distinctive. The architects at Griebel in Lensahn translated the client’s wishes into a design in which timber on the façade and steel on the roof create a calm, well-balanced whole.

The choice of materials is simple yet carefully considered. The natural change in colour of the larch wood forms part of the architecture, while the “machinery green” door adds character and evokes a village atmosphere. On the roof, the dark grey Pantile Sheet 22-270 with a design groove emphasises the modern aesthetic and gives the house a classic roof profile in a cleaner, more contemporary interpretation.

The low weight of the pantile sheets also benefits the structural integrity of the house and makes steel a practical choice for the construction. The result is a holiday home where a limited number of materials make a significant difference. A simple and inviting oasis that demonstrates how timber and steel can create warmth, tranquillity and modern architecture without unnecessary details.
