Artist House in Humlebæk, Denmark is located on the fields behind the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The house by Norm Architects is a re-build of an old land workers house. The aim has been to create a sanctuary, and a house that combines a home and a studio. The first inspiration for the architect duo was the raw materials in the original house. Brick walls, concrete floors and a huge steel beam supporting the first floor was part of the house when the project started. Norm decided to not only keep those elements, but to use them to make the identity of the house. The old wooden beams that were revealed when the reconstructing the first floor started also became a significant inspiration. The original concrete floors were removed and floor heating was installed before the new concrete floor was laid out, sanded roughly and treated with a shiny epoxy. The floor heating allowed all wall-mounted heating to be removed from the ground floor. When this was done, the walls were we rebuilt as clean-cut white, matte surfaces. No panelling, just white walls. The outside of the house is protected by local architectural restrictions, and the windows were therefor kept in the original style, something that actually gives a good contrast to the strict square window openings.
