Designed, conceived and built mostly by hand by Danish architect Soren Sarup (founder of Puras arkitekter), the Aavego Cottage interacts with the surrounding landscape and integrates the natural and contemporary qualities of simple living.

Situated less than a mile from the North Sea around the fjord, lakes and dunes, you can feel a special Nordic bond with nature. The use of light and and space both aesthetically and functionally, along with the architectural purity, creates a symbiotic installation that is both dramatic and welcoming.

The warm wood surfaces against the clean white and sharp edges, combined with a balance of vintage and modern Danish furnishings, creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere on the edge between indoor and outdoor life. The fully equipped kitchen in the main house services both living spaces with indoor or outdoor dining (depending on weather).

Organized around a large wooden terrace that unites the two structures, the main building and annex can accommodate up to eight guests total. The annex houses four double bedrooms and one bath while the main house features one bedroom and bath and a fireside living area. Each has access to the expansive terrace for places to dine, lounge and enjoy the scenery.

The south-facing facade has a large folding door that opens the kitchen onto the 180 sq m terrace. The wooden deck is designed with several corners and spaces that offer shade, shelter or a place in the sun – be it spring, summer or fall. Via Boutique Homes
