Bodrum Houses By Richard Meier.

Vedbaek House by NORM Architects.

In a corner of the humble little town of Vedbaek in Rudersdal, Denmark sits this old restored home by NORM Architects. It is called the Vedbaek House. Enhancing the history, they allowed the original details to continue to speak for themselves like the exposed beams and original wine cellar. By knocking down a few distracting walls, they exposed the unique staircase which encompasses the main living space. Adorable nooks in the walls appear seamless as they display pottery. Modern amenities make for a comfortable contemporary lifestyle.
