Pavilion House, United Kingdom
Countryside retreat
Nestled in the rolling landscape of Suffolk, Pavilion House is a stunning creation by Danish multi-disciplinary studio Norm Architects. Founded by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Rønn, the studio is celebrated for its distinctive Soft Minimalism, a style that blends Nordic authenticity with simplicity. This single-storey pavilion, located at the edge of a working farm, seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, offering a peaceful retreat where the beauty of the countryside is central to the experience.
Constructed from vertical timber, glass, and subtle steel accents, the flat-roofed structure sits harmoniously within the terrain. Its design emphasises openness and framing, allowing the house to blend effortlessly with its environment. Expansive windows draw the landscape indoors, offering sweeping views of meadows, gardens, and farmland, ensuring the natural world becomes an integral part of the home.
Pavilion House embodies Scandinavian traditions with its understated elegance and use of natural materials. A muted palette of white, cream, and grey fosters a serene atmosphere while warm and cool wood tones weave throughout the space—from the floors and window frames to the carefully curated furniture. The residents’ passion for Danish design shines through in timeless pieces like Børge Mogensen’s iconic Spanish Chair, adding refined simplicity to this peaceful retreat.
