Description:
The project is a restoration of a 18th Century small manorhouse in the danish countryside. The goal of the project was to carry out the restoration invisibly. Turebyholm is so exceptional in itself that it cannot be "improved". The building has bes restored as a piece of furniture. Thus the doors and wooden panels that had only been painted twice over the last 250 years were not repainted but re-touched as one would do with any other original rococo surface. Mirrors on the walls in the main hall dissolve the space in windows and ligth reflections. There is an ethereal ambience in the manor.
