Dorte Mandrup Research

Dorte Mandrup - Red Nest Cabin
"Red Nest  is a small prefabricated studio box designed as a detached unit in connection with a private holiday home in northern Sealand.
Despite the small size, the cabin is designed for both sleeping and working. One door, one window, one rooflight, one bed, one shelf, one table - everything you need.
Inside the box everything is clad in waxed birch-plywood. Facades are clad with vertical oiled Tuja  lists." - Dorte Mandrup Arkitektur

Dorte Mandrup - Skansen House

Inspired by these two structures by Dorte and other building of her's, I have decided to make a boxy structure of wood and other materials whilst still incorporating some sort of angles (like Vanloos School) to embody her style of architecture.

Environment Photos


The above winter landscape of frost trees and shrubbery is in Denmark, a country in Scandinavian northern Europe. The days are short there with sunsets typically occurring at 3:45pm.

Danish beach in the winter this is really informative as I'm wanting to make the place for the students to meet at a winter beach.

Lastly, is a close shot of the tree's and the rolling landscape of Denmark.

these three images are really helpful to me when creating my environment as both my architects are Danish women and I feel that the landscape should also reflect the architect's environment.
