House in Gurre by Office Kim Lenschow is a 220 square metre single family house located in Gurre near Elsinore, Denmark, completed in 2024. Set within a dense forest of oak and beech trees, the project responds to filtered light and enclosed views through a composition of stepped volumes that create courtyards, niches, and layered interior spaces. The house is organised through equal spatial units and shifting floor levels, producing a flexible open plan articulated through sectional variation. A central courtyard brings light into the core of the house, inspired by forest clearings. Constructed from porous concrete blocks with a timber frame, the building expresses a clear tectonic language where materials and structural elements remain visible. The project explores the relationship between architecture and landscape through depth, rhythm, and material clarity.
