Rhythm shaped by architecture
WHO: a family of four
ARCHITECT: Nordskov Arkitektur
LOCATION: Northern Copenhagen, Denmark
STORAGE AND WARDROBE: PLAIN collection
Our latest campaign, rhythm of home, features a modernist home in northern Copenhagen where architecture, light, and built-in storage shape the rhythms of everyday life. Designed by Gert Bornebusch as a modest single-family home in the late 1950s, the home had seen three earlier expansions that disrupted its modernist identity. The recent renovation was about creating a unified vision—a contemporary interpretation of modernism shaped by purposeful simplicity, material honesty, and spatial fluidity.
These principles are brought to life using transparency, fluid connections between inside and outside, and materials that reinforce this modernist dialogue. Moving through the home, expansive views of the garden, sky, and forest are ever-present, offering multiple ways to live and move through each space. Carefully placed windows fill the interiors with daylight, balancing privacy and openness while preserving wall space for furniture and art. Central to the home’s renewed character is PLAIN in soft white. With flat front, clean lines, and quiet functionality, PLAIN becomes an architectural element—framing views, guiding movement, and shaping space. Every detail is intentional, each material considered—a home designed for the rhythm of everyday.
“The presence of nature can be felt in every room, and the architecture provides a framework for the life lived within the home.”
– Christian Fursund, Nordskov Arkitektur
“PLAIN in painted veneer brings both spatial depth and functionality, becoming an essential part of the home’s material dialogue.”
– Christian Fursund, Nordskov Arkitektur
“The dialogue between light, space, structure, materiality, and function creates smaller compositions that tell the story of a larger whole—where a door is not just a door, but a shift in rhythm and an element within a greater sequence. Built-in storage becomes both a thoughtful pause and a practical feature, woven into the home’s architectural language.”
– Christian Fursund, Nordskov Arkitektur
