On a hillside in Snekkersten, Denmark, a unique building project has taken shape. Designed by architects, the 2-floor villa with an ocean view has been built of Thermomur 350 Super.
The villa is designed with large clear spans and panoramic windows, which a traditional construction would not have supported. The hillside and difficult accessibility on site were also decisive for Jens Fjeldal when choosing to build with Thermomur.
“Access to the building site was difficult, and light building materials were required, in order to move the materials around without using machinery”, says Jens Fjeldal.
The grey Thermomur blocks contain graphite, increasing the insulation capacity by 20% compared to a similar block in white EPS. This gives Jens Fjeldal a well-insulated home meeting the energy requirements of today.
“The blocks are easy to work with, and changes can easily be made during the building process. At a late stage, I wanted to add another window to the 1st floor bathroom. Had I used traditional building materials, it would not have been possible. However, as the outer walls are made of EPS, it was easy to install another window. Furthermore, the solid concrete core means that large clear spans and visible rafters could be installed”, says Jens Fjeldal.
The house is designed by Lars Gitz Architects.
