Housing and planning competetion for Antonihøjen, Præstø.
Proposal for housing in the characteristic landscape of southern Zealand, with one type of low-dense houses inspired by traditional fishermen's houses and cottages of the area.
The houses are organized in clusters keeping the top of the hill open for the public.

Area of Præstø's development and typologies:
from traditional market town to a place to live with unique housing close to nature.

the landscape around Præstø consists of 4 types of areas:
towns, forests, fields and water.

Nature is brought closer to Præstø by keeping various areas free of buildings.
Houses that follow the landscape and topography.

The square shape of the house measures 13 x 13 m creating several smaller rooms and an open courtyard.
Because of the angled outer walls more layers of privacy is made:
inside, covered outside, outside & outside view.

The houses are staggered and connected by a road on the backside and a small crossing path. The front is kept free with open view.
