A house that opens itself
to the landscape.
Set on a wooded plot outside Aarhus, Villa Sora was conceived as a retreat for a growing family who wanted to live closer to nature.
Generous glazing, low horizontal lines, and a calm palette of timber and stone allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior.
Every room was planned around the rhythm of the day — from slow mornings in the kitchen to long evenings on the terrace.
A sunken living room opens onto the garden terrace and pool.
Living
between inside and out.
The plan unfolds as a sequence of connected spaces, each opening onto a different view of the garden.
Oiled walnut, honed travertine, and natural linen create an interior that feels relaxed, tactile, and quietly luxurious throughout the year.

Warm timber and soft stone were chosen to echo the trees and terrain surrounding the villa, softening the boundary between architecture and landscape.
