Roof House is a project that completely transforms an existing villa from the 1960s, beautifully situated on a large site filled with trees in Fredensborg，Denmark. The existing house is occupied by a family with three children and the specific needs of the family formed the basis of the project. Planning restrictions on the site called for a careful and minimal approach and this led to the idea of extending the house upwards by adding a series of roof buildings. This way the project adds a new bedroom and a workspace loft as well as skylights and sleeping platforms for all the children's bedrooms. In addition, the project includes a redesign of the facade, making it more energy efficient. The existing thin yellow brick tiles were replaced by a robust new dark brick facade, and new window openings from floor to ceiling allow unobstructed views to the landscape.
