ATELIER KRISTOFFER TEJLGAARD

– a small Copenhagen based architecture studio
– practising from rural Funen

“I believe it is necessary for our architecture not only to have price and speed as parameters, but also the relationship with our world and how we influence our climate.”

It's just a house.
As they have existed in Denmark for thousands of years, but I'm really proud of what we've achieved in terms of making something that strives to just be that, and just be that as well as possible.

The craftsmanship, the exposed timber framing, CNC and robotic prefabrication and perhaps most importantly, an attitude towards biogenic materials, by completely avoiding concrete foundations, fibreglass fire barriers, plastic vapour membranes, plaster and mineral wool.
Really just wood, straw and steel for now.

Right now, the thatched roof is being laid and the home for the tenant couple Nanna and Christopher can be built in dry weather under the large roof.
The site where the large farmhouse is being rebuilt smells of wood and straw.
It is reminiscent of something traditional and anchored, even though the skeleton of the house is cut by robots from recycled wood from the wind turbine industry and the rafters are prefabricated by LVL with CNC templates and anchored with laser-cut steel feet on screw foundations.

It's been a struggle to get here and we're not there yet.
We've had to challenge regulations, fire classification and deviations from pre-accepted solutions, even though it seems so traditional and straightforward.
We plan to tell a story about the journey through requirements and regulations when you want to build as sustainable and biogenic as possible, and how difficult it becomes when you don't just “as usual”.

We invite you to an open construction site and the opportunity to hear about the process and ask questions on 7 November in Melby, if you want to know more.

This is how it looked at @lerbjerggaard.andelsgaarde yesterday. And a fine wreath was placed on top by @andersmainz_byg according to danish tradition.

It’s so satisfying to finally see the building rise and reveal whether the considerations in relation to views and juxtaposition work as intended.

Lerbjerggård was originally one of the larger farms in Melby, with a beautiful and large main house, right next to the main street and the entrance to the town.
It was important to us that the new main building had potential for the future development of the farm and Andelsgaarde, so it has been given a size that matches the old main house and as the farm’s third wing restores the beautiful courtyard.
Although the dwelling has been reduced under the roof and has provided space for activities for the cooporative farm.

The studio is officially up and running again now that my maternity leave is over. And what a start to working life. In Melby, at @lerbjerggaard.andelsgaarde , where we have designed a new main house, there is a topping-out ceremony tomorrow. It’s a new house for @andelsgaarde.dk and, not least, for @nannathomsn and @christopher.fischlein , who will finally be able to move properly into the farm soon. It’s been a long time coming, partly due to all kinds of external factors, but also because we’ve chosen to take on every struggle and challenge when rules and textbooks have prevented us from building as sustainably as possible. And we intend to follow up and report on that later.  The rafters system are a further development of the rafters we designed and used for the greenhouse on the same farm.  The rafters were produced at @spaanbrogaard.andelsgaarde on Funen by @havntos and @andreas_dalland , using CNC milled templates from @bymarkant . #KT Stålindustri made the customised steel feet that connect the rafters to the large screws from @fremtidensfundament . #Søren Jensen Ingeniører has been responsible for statics, fire and indoor climate, and @andersmainz_byg now has the contract to erect the rafters and build the house itself.  Looking forward to follow the build and tell about it.

Taken through a foggy facade, hence the quality.

We are very honored!

@dreyersfond have decided to support the studios investigative work with transformation and new vernacular typologies for @andelsgaarde.dk
It means a lot and allows us to get further with our ambitions on making the best possible projects for the farms that are already in development and hopefully create examples for future use.

Thank you very much!

Dew on the newly finished 50m2 Droplet.

The new and larger Droplet is up at the psychiatric hospital in Odense.
I’m very pleased with the result, the larger interior and the elliptical floor plan that makes it change appearance as you move around it.

I’m hoping it will bring a lot of plants and joy into the life of the patients and the caretakers at the hospital.

Great work @bymarkant who produced and erected it.

@degners captured this beautiful shot at @roddercph ‘s latest arrangement at @lerbjerggaard.andelsgaarde

This is what it is all about! -and I love to see our ideas create the framework around the energy that’s being put into @andelsgaarde.dk

Besides the greenhouse, we build the small thatched house in the background last year from reclaimed timber from the former pigs stable, that was taken down where the greenhouse is now located.
@bakkenotten and @andreas_dalland produced the reclaimed timber framing as prefab at @sif.andreas.andelsgaarde

The finished dome structure at @musikefterskolenihumble

Now it will be exciting to see how it’s going to be finished by the school and inhabited in the future. I’m hoping to come back and see It full of life

Design planning of the wooden homes for @andelsgaarde.dk

It’s more difficult to solve all parts of a build with biogenic materials, sure.
But it’s so satisfying to se the planning of the houses come together using screw foundations, wooden load bearing structures, wooden facades, clay and wooden claddings, paperwool insulation and thatched roofs.
Getting very close to a fully bio based and degradable house.

The necessary steps to be able turn the sunny and blue sky renders into reality.

Two of our most important projects to date are nearing start of construction.
And we are very excited to see the two homes at @lerbjerggaard.andelsgaarde and @sif.andreas.andelsgaarde take shape in the coming months.
They are the first homes to come from our studio and for us that’s a very big deal.

In the summer of ‘21 we did our first 100m2 self supporting dome at @ucl.dk in Odense.
It was a milestone in what we are able to achieve in the simple greenhouse domes that are now at 120m2
Don’t know why I didn’t share it back then.

We just received the book on wooden buildings in Denmark by Peter Olesen and @forlagetfrydenlund
And the article about our dome in Allinge is beautiful and heartwarming.
Thank you so much!

At @musikefterskolenihumble the 120m2 dome is nearing “topping out” in the sunshine.
@bymarkant hard at work. And so nice to see how quickly the structure-less greenhouses go up.

The oval Droplet in Odense up next.

Busy days.
At the psychiatric hospital in Odense another foundation for a greenhouse has appeared. This time an elliptical one.
This will be our first oval greenhouse.

@bymarkant is running a tight ship these days.
