Bakkely Orangery glass extension integrated with existing house and garden on Ærø by Asger Risborg Jakobsen

Bakkely Orangery

2025
Ærø, Denmark



An orangery built as an extension to the former stables of a summer residence on Ærø. The structure extends the use of the garden into the colder months and provides space for cultivating vegetables and fruit. The building wraps around the existing stables, forming smaller side spaces, while an eight-metre-high central room opens vertically toward the sky. A cut corner preserves sea views from the main garden.
