The livingroom
Lean back and relax to the view of the untamed landscape
A refreshingly modern and intimately warm palette of sandy tones and textures inspired by the surrounding beaches, dunes, and cliffs. A large seating area is taking advantage of the views with sofas in the same rich textile upholstery as the Vipp Swivel chairs in the dining area.

the bathrooms
Framed with local art
While the bathroom on the lower floor is subtle in its choice of art and interior, the upper floor bathroom evokes more of an art gallery feel.
A beautiful patinated beam, preserved from the original house, now adorns an entire wall complimented by a blue and white mask created by Thy-based sculptor and painter, Thomas Øvlisen.
Renowned artist Frederik Næblerød has used black paint and playful hand painted murals to create a final touch to the bathroom.
