Project
Bedre Byggeskik II
Just north of Copenhagen sits a Danish Bedre byggeskik house, originally built in 1928. Both the facades and interiors have been carefully restored, preserving the home’s historic character.
The house has only had a few owners before its current occupants took over in 2024. Over the years some updates were made including a new roof, new windows with skylights, refurbished bathroom and kitchen spaces.
After several visits and thorough research in the archives, we concluded that the house required minimal intervention to welcome a new family. Our focus was primarily on the exterior, approached with care and a restoration-minded philosophy.
The facades were rendered in a warm white, while the windows were replaced and a few additional ones introduced. The roof was renewed with tiles in a soft red hue, and all woodwork was treated with linseed oil, preserving the home’s authentic charm.
