Scandinavian firm CF Møller Architects has completed a house where all the exterior surfaces match, thanks to a combination of dark red bricks and tiles.
Located in Risskov, in the north of Danish city Aarhus, Villa E is a home for a couple with four children and a dog.
Villa E consists of four gabled blocks
The 261-square-metre building takes its cues from the nearby Aarhus University, designed by CF Møller back in 1931, with its gabled roof profiles and rustic materials palette.
The aim was replicate the university's "simplicity and straightforward use of local materials", according to architect and CF Møller partner Klaus Toustrup.
The exterior combines matching tiles and bricks
"The clients used Aarhus University as an example of a building which had achieved the timelessness they wanted from their new home," he told Dezeen. "They were very fond of classic brick buildings and were looking for a design that would blend in nicely into the surroundings."

Villa E consists of four overlapping gabled volumes, with two oriented north-south and the other two running east-west.
Hand-painted tiles clad both the facade and roof of all four blocks. With varying shades of red, they match up with two brick entrance staircases and a series of exterior terraces.
