Reference Project
Designed by legendary architect Arne Jacobsen in 1955, this iconic Tisvilde summer house marked a crucial turning point in Danish midcentury architecture. Characterized by its sharp, modular design, the summer house drew both praise and criticism for its groundbreaking simplicity and crooked, asymmetrical roof - an unprecedented design feature for its time.
Works by iconic Bauhaus masters, including Marcel Breuer, served as inspiration for the house's modernist layout. Reduced to its simplest form, the project consists of a series of basic geometric shapes. The entire home is encapsulated in a single, rectangular wooden box suspended between two brick walls. Framed by ocean views on one side and a large backyard area on the other, the property is completed by a lush garden and apple orchard.
Inside the home, there are playful primary colors and numerous hidden design elements. The color palette is largely inspired by natural wood and complemented by bold yellow, orange, green and blue elements that are repeated throughout the house. The open kitchen and living room blend naturally and form the heart of the home. Elements include an original freestanding wood-burning stove and a large window that frames glimpses of the sea.
Every detail of the house has been carefully selected by Jacobsen and his team of architects, and artfully placed to achieve the optimal balance between form and function. The kitchen and bathroom plumbing is no exception. Here, Cross-grip faucets in shiny Chrome adorn the perfect finishing touches to the home's iconic, ultra-functional décor.
The Cross-grip faucets were installed during the owner's renovation in 2005 with the help of the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces. The faucets were chosen because of their almost indestructible quality and their similarity to the project's original faucets. With the exception of a few updates, the property is largely untouched since its construction in 1956.
