THE PROJECT

A black timber studio on stilts above the granite, for a painter who wanted the sea and nothing else.

01 · THE SITE

A granite shelf on the north coast of Bornholm, open to the wind on every side. We spent a January weekend on the rock before drawing a line.

02 · THE BRIEF

One room to paint in, a bed for the long summer evenings, and nothing that would scar the rock.

03 · THE RESULT

The studio stands on slender legs, so the granite runs on underneath it. One wall of glass faces the sea, and the rest is black larch.

IN THEIR WORDS

“They spent a January weekend on my rock before they drew a single line. Now the north light falls on my easel all winter.”

Mette Holm, painter
