Holiday home Knoten House

When you wake up in the morning at Knoten House on the edge of Thy National Park, you feel imme­diately con­nected to the ele­ments: the rugged beauty of the dunes and lakes stretches out before the pan­o­ramic windows, the sea rushes just a few steps away, the roof is green and blooming above your head, and wooden walls create a cosy atmo­sphere on all sides. The building, with its recycled wooden façade and large glass sur­faces, blends in well with its sur­roun­dings. In the back­ground, the former fishing village of Agger offers West Jutland charm and slow-motion variety.

The archi­tecture is cha­rac­te­rised by clean lines, giving the building a calm pre­sence. A place of retreat and a modern inter­pre­tation of 1970s Danish summer house culture – mini­malist, func­tional and yet full of light and warmth. The foun­da­tions of the dila­pi­dated pre­vious building were used for the con­s­truction, as was its timber. The roof is green and designed to provide shade in summer and suf­fi­cient sun­light in winter.

Hand­crafted by the owner, the details of the interior design – from the doors and cup­boards to the kitchen – are finished to a high standard and underline the emphasis on dura­bility and simple aes­thetics. This also includes the bathroom walls, which are plas­tered with tadelakt, a tra­di­tional Moroccan lime­stone coating with a smooth, stone-like surface.

The spa­cious floor plan of the house offers room for six guests and fea­tures an open-plan living, cooking and dining area as well as three double bed­rooms. One of the bed­rooms can also be used fle­xibly as a playroom or office by folding away the bed. Knoten House is fur­nished in a mini­malist style with Scan­di­navian fur­niture and offers many cosy corners for reading and enjoying the view. Thanks to the three ter­races, there is a sunny spot at almost any time of day. You can then head to the beach 500 metres away with your surf­board, walk or cycle into the vastness of Thy, and after­wards enjoy a warm or cold outdoor shower, sit in front of the fire­place or hop into the bathtub.
