The Brief was to turn a tired three bedroom, two bathroom house into a stylish and modern four bedroom, three bathroom luxury residence. The clients requested a spacious, bright, open plan home to suit both work and play along with sufficient space for a home office and swimming pool.
The Result, a beautifully designed and well thought out space. By extending the home into the existing garage and encorporating it into the main living space along with relocating the kitchen, lee & allan design were able to create a usable home with clean lines and a mondern feel.
We were able to maximise the sense of space by insuring the indoor living spaces met the outdoors. This was achieved by installing windows and doors off each of the living and dining spaces which all lead to either the front or rear entertaining areas. Each of the living spaces overlook the pool or rear garden, and are positioned to maximise airflow.
This layout gives the occupants a lifestyle which is modern, functional, sustainable and relaxing.

Info: [D]
Ørestad auf der Insel Amager ist der jüngste Stadtteil der dänischen Hauptstadt Kopenhagen. Er entsteht seit 1992 nach dem New Town-Prinzip. Ørestad untergliedert sich in die vier Teile Ørestad Nord, Amager Fælled kvarteret, Ørestad City und Ørestad Syd (von Nord nach Süd) sowie das Naturschutzgebiet Kalvebod Fælled.[1] Der Stadtteil erstreckt sich in Nord-Süd-Richtung über etwa 600 m Breite und rund 5 km Länge (310 Hektar). Er liegt auf dem Gebiet der Kommune Kopenhagen, unmittelbar an der Grenze zur Kommune Tårnby, das zum Amt Kopenhagen gehört. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
Info: [EN]
Ørestad is a planned town between Copenhagen Airport and the City of Copenhagen, and was developed on the basis of an international architectural competition in 1994 which the Finnish ARKKI Aps won.
Ørestad provides sample space for new constructions that could not be fitted into the existing quarters of Copenhagen – due to their mere size. The town consists of the areas Ørestad North, Amager Fælled, Ørestad City (master plan by Daniel Libeskind), and the not yet built Ørestad South.
