Villa Cornelius Vöge

The house is the first study of living space by Cornelius Vöge, serving as a setting for family life and work. In the house, the main focus has been on studying the division of the living space into functions and on the creation of the rooms and transitions between them.

UNITS PRESERVE EXISTING VEGETATION

The house is located in a large, older holiday home area close to Roskilde Fjord. Along the periphery, the plot is densely planted with older, tall trees – birch, larch, and spruce, while a grassy clearing opens up in the center. The building is divided into three units to preserve the existing vegetation, to reflect the area’s composite character of small houses, and to shape a new introverted garden space in the green clearing.

Each of the house’s units contains its own function in relation to the living space – an adult and common section, a children’s section, and a more isolated studio for work and contemplation. Each unit can function more or less independently, depending on the family’s changing needs for togetherness.

LARCH WOOD FROM THE LOCAL TIMBER STORE

To investigate what is possible with standard building materials, the house is primarily built using materials sourced from the local timber store. The main structure is a wooden construction clad with larch wood planks.
