Designer-Villa in Laven in der Nähe des Himmelbjergs

With the forest at its back and a view of the Silkeborg Lakes from the terrace, this architect-designed villa sits in a prime spot on the hillside. The foundation is an old waterworks, and atop it rests a light wooden box filled with art, design, and color.



The connection to the forest and the view of the lake have defined the materials and lines of the house. The upper level is connected directly to the forest via a terrace with a walkway. The lower level houses bedrooms with access to a terrace at street level. Oak is used throughout for floors, windows, the kitchen, and fixtures. A love of color is expressed through painted ceilings and unique design objects.



The living room is integrated with the forest, where you can look directly out among the trees from the dining table and the sofa. The upper-level terrace with a walkway to the forest is a fantastic place to be in the summer, while the street-level terrace provides access from the bedrooms.



Via Laven Søplads, you can take several routes along the water, and the Himmelbjerg Route passes through Laven. There is also a beautiful forest trail at the back. Stop by the town’s own little café and bookstore, Antikvariatet, for ice cream or coffee. By train, you can reach Ry in 3 minutes. Himmelbjerget is 20 minutes away, and Den Kunstige Sø is 7 km away.
