Karlebo Landsted in North Zealand reinterprets traditional Danish architecture through a modern, sustainable lens. Using natural, diffusion-open materials, the home balances heritage with eco-conscious innovation, offering a residence that respects both the environment and the region’s architectural history.
Inspired by local longhouses, half-timbered structures, and farm buildings, the house features a hempcrete and limewashed exterior, clay-plastered interiors, and a straw-insulated green roof. A central corridor links the spaces, creating a natural flow that complements the tactile, healthy living environment.
Owners Alexandra and Casper Borg Møller envisioned a home that blends with its surroundings while prioritizing sustainability. Timeless pieces like Børge Mogensen’s J39 Chair enrich the interior, demonstrating how thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and bio-based construction can define a contemporary model for responsible living.
