Skovsporet
Skovsporet is a student village in Holstebro, Denmark consisting of 36 ground-level apartments. When completed each of the houses will be some of the largest 3D-printed houses in the world.
The walls feature coated plywood panels that seamlessly integrate with built-in shelving, presenting both form and function. Dominating the backdrop is an expansive glass window that beautifully frames the verdant garden view. Enhancing the brightness of the space, an elongated skylight punctuates the acoustic ceiling, inviting daylight to stream in. The space allows a sofa optimally positioned to offer outdoor viewing.
