Villa U’s two storey family house occupies a scenic spot in Aarhus. It is a city renowned for being a cultural melting pot of Denmark. You only need to look over the city’s vista to promptly learn that revolutionary design ideas are a norm here and not really an exception. The Old Town Museum preserves some of the most remarkable examples of medieval timber framed houses. The city is indebted to Hack Kampmann for many of its prominent 19th and early 20th century landmarks like Aarhus Theatre, Marselisborg Palace, Villa Kampen and so on.

Built in a more recent time by schmidt hammer lassen architects, ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum fills the night sky with a rainbow of colours. Aarhus City Hall happens to be an Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller masterpiece. When seen from a distance, the lofty glass façade of Aarhus Concert Hall looks simply surreal. 

Against this backdrop, even a residential project could not have prevented being a fascinating representation of the city’s architectural history. The owners of this detached family house decided to give C F Møller Architects the responsibilities of turning their dream into a viable project. The results are here for you to see and cherish.

Overview

With an illustrious history dating back to 1924, C F Møller Architects did not take long to put their deft touches on this project. They created a pair of parallelograms and placed one on top of the other. The façade embellished with dark patinated zinc and hardwood mouldings create an intriguing look. The tilted appearance, created by the placing of two floors at a different angle, plays a large part in producing a magnetic charm. The building has 200 sq metres’ living area spread over two levels. It is wheelchair accessible and has provisions for a residential elevator.

Central zone

The house is laid around a double height central area occupied by skylight installations, sculptural staircase and brick fireplace. Use of custom bricks generate a varied texture throughout the building. The staircase gives access to the private part of the building. The second floor lever has bedroom suites and a private entertainment area. Villa U’s proximity to the greenery outside can be appreciated from the terraces and large glass windows.
