Humlebaek House in Denmark























The Humlebaek House was a former land workers house, located in Denmark and converted by Danish firm Norm Architecture, into a home-studio. Originally constructed with brick walls, concrete floor and steel beams, it had almost anything an inspiring conversion needs, except one: adequate daylight. And that was the biggest issue. Unable to interfere in the exterior walls, as the building is protected by local architectural restrictions, the architects had but one choice: walls painted white and a new concrete floor treated with shiny epoxy, to help spread the light into luminous spaces that reveal their history.
