Renowned for his textural take on minimalism, architect Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen's design ethos has brought a quiet and poetic beauty to his home

LIGHTNESS OF BEING

Ever since Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen a nd his wife Christine bought this house in a small fishing village north of Copenhagen, it has become a magnet for festive celebrations. ‘With its old-world charm, big fireplaces and ornamental mouldings, the house is the perfect backdrop for creating a traditional Christmas atmosphere,’ says Jonas. It was these details that drew the couple in – surprising even to them, given Jonas is one of the design world’s key proponents of contemporary minimalism in his roles as founder of Norm Architects and design director of Danish homes brand Menu.

RAISE THE BAR

A custom bar area helps to set the tone and atmosphere when entertaining by allowing guests to congregate in one area and connect with each other. In this project designed by US design studio Alana Marie Interiors, the custom walnut bar also doubles as a privacy screen, helping to zone the space in a practical and elegant way. The slatted panels create beautiful storage nooks for glassware and bar accessories, demonstrating how form and function can be seamlessly integrated.
