At the top of the hill

The old farm at the top of the hill has now been replaced by a house designed by Jesper Hangaard from Wullum Pasgaard A/S in Holstebro. Wullum Pasgaard is both a design studio and a consulting engineering company, so they visited the site, made calculations on the views and started sketching. But what they presented was definitely not what Helle and Gunnar had expected. “When we saw their presentation, we just thought: That’s not us at all! But an hour later – after they’d explained everything carefully – well, then we were sold”, says Helle.  

The new Søgård house looks more or less as Wullum Pasgaard designed it, and it was built using cast-in-situ concrete, dark earth-coloured brick and burnished copper. On the ground floor, there are rooms and a bathroom for the children, a large living room, access to the garage and an exit to the courtyard. On the first floor, the kitchen-dining room, pantry and TV room occupy more than half of the floor’s square metres. The rest of the first floor contains the couple’s bedroom, a large wardrobe, a bathroom and a living room. 

At the opposite end of the first floor is the large bathroom, which overlooks the rolling hills. The bathroom, like the kitchen, is furnished with oak cabinets from the Copenhagen collection and a worktop in Corian. The vola brushed copper taps complete the exclusive design. 

From the bathtub, Helle and Gunnar can enjoy the beautiful and distinctive landscape with moraine hills created during the Ice Age. The bathroom also contains a large shower and a niche for the toilet.
