RESIDENTIAL
VIRUM HOUSE
2019
Located in Virum, a picturesque lakeside suburb on Furesø, in the
outskirts of Copenhagen, the Virum House project is a renovation of the
existing dwelling owned by an Icelandic-Faroese couple. The couple
wanted the house to embody a minimalistic, Nordic aesthetic, true to their
respective Nordic homelands. Architectural interventions to the ground
floor plan opened and connected the daily living spaces creating generous circulation areas. Large slabs of lavastone were laid on walls and floors in
wet areas and transition zones, while wide heart oak Dinesen planks fill the living areas. Aligning with a commitment to a minimal material
palette, the integrated furniture was also clad in oak or lavastone;
celebrating and refining two elements so intrinsic to the image of the
Nordic landscape.
