Light and easy-going: The former coastal farm Vesterlandet in the Danish fishing village of Agger is a reinterpreted overall concept of glass, wood and sand tones that houses two airy, bright apartments as well as versatile office space and the regional restaurant Tri as well as an ice cream café. Only 150 metres from the North Sea and right next to the wonderfully wild Thy National Park.
Together with his wife Maria Louise, architect Søren Sarup has created a clear and bright building in which modern architecture is built on original substance. Both holiday units have a private courtyard, are open plan and designed for two people. However, there is also room for families with a small child and guests with a dog. An additional highlight is the large window front of each flat.
With minimalist Danish classics and simple, comfortable furniture, both apartments concentrate on the essentials – including the bathroom and a small, fully equipped kitchen. If you want to expand your living space, all you have to do is open the French doors to your own wooden terrace with open-air shower.
Those who have some work to do can rent one of the office rooms on an hourly or daily basis. The Tris restaurant, which is also part of the complex, provides conscious culinary art with products from the region, and its orangery offers not only a gastronomic but an overall visual experience. A holistic holiday destination that blends contrasts – old and new, private and in the middle of it all, nature and culture, holiday and work.

Welch eine geniale Idee von Søren Sarup, dem gemütlichen Dorf Agger diesen neuen Mittelpunkt zu bauen: ein lichtdurchflutetes gläsernes Gebäude, in dem man erstklassig speisen kann (der talentierte Chefkoch Nicolas Min Jørgensen hat gerade seinen ersten Stern erkocht) und dessen Magie man sich vor allem am Abend im Lichterschein nicht mehr entziehen kann. Hinterm Restaurant eröffnet sich dann ein weiteres Beispiel kluger Architektur: zwei großzügige Doppelzimmer, durch Terrassen verbunden und doch diskret und getrennt nutzbar, nordisch klar und herrlich entspannt und gemütlich eingerichtet. Dort haben wir in diesem Sommer Station gemacht, morgens vor dem Frühstück (das liebevoll gepackt in der zwei Minuten entfernten Mikrobäckerei abgeholt werden kann) in der nahen Nordsee gebadet, am Abend vor dem fulminanten Essen im Restaurant TRI (ein wirklich so besonderes Konzept, ein unglaublich tolles, entspanntes, einfach perfektes Team!) auch in der Nordsee gebadet, es war so herrlich. Welch ein Rundumwohlfühlwochenende. Danke euch ihr lieben Gastgeber Marie-Louise und Søren. Wir kommen wieder!
This is the proof that feeling home doesn’t need much space. You can never imagine that there is space and still intimate privacy in such a small patio- style apartment. A private outdoor place with shower, hidden but still close to everything. surrounded by the faint sounds of the peaceful neighbourhood- a very private piece of heaven. It’s small and cosy , but everything you wish for. A perfect spot to arrive in the very heart of beautiful Agger.
