The majestic fireplace can be opened from both sides, inviting a range of uses: build a bonfire for a cosy spectacle, a fire for heat and comfort – or use it to barbecue delicious meals and treats. The attention to versatility and function continues in other details: heat lamps in the ceiling can turn chilly summer nights tropical and winter evenings warm and cosy at the flick of a switch. On hot days, the large glass sliding doors can be pushed away completely, transforming the house into a covered terrace. The house is decorated in a simple Nordic style with classic designs such as the Spanish Chair by Børge Mogensen, vintage fiberglass Eames chairs sourced from the American base in Berlin, and the iconic Hector Mesa dining table from Eberhart. The subtle, understated air makes this a calming retreat for every season.
