AND-RÉ

House of Fairytales . Odense

AND-RÉ

We propose a space that challenges the visitor, serving as a gate to the imaginary and spirit of the writer universe, materialized through architecture.

We propose a living experience into H. C. Andersen’s tales. An experience inspired by the author, and also one that inspires the visitor to feel the values, moral and sensations offered by his stories.
The theme of the forest is a regular appearance with a significant role, in fairytales and folklore. It represents mystery and dangers, being also a place of opportunity and transformation. Hence the concept of a garden that grew into a deep forest, transforming the public space into a magical experience.
This Fairytale Forest merges the public and private domain, in a coherent and unified whole, made of momentums that gently connect the outdoor with the indoor spaces.
