Primus architects were completed design a minimalist house in 1200m2 area of the north of Zealand, Denmark. This house built only with 2 bedrooms and has 75 m2 of total living space. Read the description after the images.




Description of Skybox House.
The main focus has been to add spatiality and experience of light to the relatively small program. The plan sets the bedrooms apart from the large living space and introduces an open hallway. Diagonal views stretch out through the whole building. In working with the section ceiling height is minimized and “sky-boxes” are added to provide space and air. The large glazed openings incorporate the sky as a 5th façade. Large sliding doors lets the in- and outside melt together. The balloon frame construction sits on the exposed concrete base. 30 x 30 mm oak lists wrap the building. The lists are treated with iron sulfate which darkens and enhances the structure of the wood . Floor boards are oak as well. Insulation is mineral wool, roof 300 mm, walls 150 mm. Heating is provided by a heat pump integrated in the wall, reducing heating costs and CO2 emission. The “sky-boxes” ventilate the space trough natural chimney effect. A cast iron stove is for additional heating.
