Karlebo landsted
Casper and Alexandra embarked on a journey to turn their dream of countryside living into reality, all while staying close to the vibrancy of Copenhagen. As a landscape architect and a research scientist, they sought the perfect blend of rural tranquility and urban convenience, and they found it in the charming village of Karlebo.
Balancing tradition and innovation
Their vision for their home was both ambitious and modern. They wanted to honor the timeless charm of traditional Danish timber-framed houses while infusing their design with contemporary style. This meant carefully planning every detail, from the layout with its central hallway connecting various rooms, to the choice of biobased materials.
Concerned about the impact of climate change, Casper and Alexandra were determined to use eco-friendly materials in their construction. They opted for glulam wood with hemp modules for the structure, while the facade consists of lime plaster, echoing the classic look of nearby heritage homes. Inside, the walls were coated in clay plaster, creating a healthy indoor environment that will stand the test of time.
The roof is insulated with straw and grass – something that was inspired by the neighboring stud farms. But amidst all these eco-conscious decisions, they didn't compromise on style. When it came to the finishing touches, they opted for the timeless L lever handle by Knud Holscher in stainless steel.
Their choice of lever handles wasn't just about aesthetics - it was a reflection of their commitment to quality and sustainability.
