Bespoke Beach House
DRAGØR, DENMARK
With front row to the Baltic sea, Heidi and Kasper Egelund, have built a modern villa on the Danish seaside. Streamlined stacked volumes make up a two-storey building that feature floor-to-ceiling glazing, added to bring the surrounding nature within the walls of the family home.
KASPER EGELUND, OWNER
“With this view, you’re in constant conversation with the outside. I’ve always wanted to live in a glass house. When I was a design and communication student in Copenhagen, I fell in love with the Farnsworth House.”
Meet the Family
Heidi and Kasper Egelund and their three children Mie, Karla and Otto have built this family home from scratch. Kasper Egelund’s interest in functional design is not inherited from strangers. He is 3rd generation owner of Vipp. When his grandparents died, both Kasper’s mother, sister and himself took over the company with the wish to make Vipp accessible to design enthusiasts worldwide.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Architectural Highlights
On this seaside plot, Heidi and Kasper decided to build a bespoke beach house for their family of five. The couple turned to architect Mads Lund with a wish to create a family home centered around refined aesthetics and functional choices paired with the experience of nature while being indoors. Architect Mads Lund envisioned a structure, which would keep the surrounding nature in full focus, excluding decorative elements that would pull attention away from the villa’s natural context. After pulling the right permits and one year of construction the family moved into a contemporary interpretation of a classic Danish villa yet with an architectural stamp that makes this home one-of-a-kind.
