Skagen at its finest

‍

Skagen, the northernmost town in Denmark, sits on a long peninsula flanked by beaches that jut out between two seas. Standing at its tip, one can watch waves from the Kattegat marine area crash into waters from the North Sea. Inside, the home is an ideal place for his extended family to come together. As for its exterior, the painted walls and thatched roof are a celebration of the so-called black period of 1870s Skagen, during which charred timbers from the many nearby shipwrecks were repurposed to construct homes.

Sustainable build

‍

All the wood, except for the windows and construction frame, is Douglas fir from the Danish company Dinesen, which sources sustainable timber from forests in France and Germany. The thatched roof and black-painted wooden exterior link the house to the history of Skagen, where charred lumbar from shipwrecks was often used to build homes.

Inside the abode, PAX created a series of zones that foster a sense of openness. The kitchen, which is located within a few centimeters of the building’s central point, is its purposeful heart. That’s because being able to get together with friends and family—particularly around meal times—is so important. On warm days, life easily flows out to the terrace. The beach is just a short walk away, and the surrounding land is part of a protected nature reserve.
