Danish architecture studio CEBRA has completed a seaside villa in Denmark wrapped in an undulating roof, offering expansive views over the Aarhus Bay while also sheltering itself from the weather. Responding to the specific site conditions and the client’s wish for an artistic expression, the residence is designed as an inhabitable sculpture that takes on a different shape depending on your point of view and the capricious coastal weather.

The villa was developed for a site on the edge of a residential area, located only a stone’s throw from one of Aarhus’ most popular beaches and offering magnificent views over the water and the hilly Mols peninsulas on the opposite side of the bay. The aim of the design is to stage and utilize this location and life by the sea with the vast horizon as an everchanging backdrop for strolls along the beach, winter swimming, watersports, and everyday activities.
