"Gabriella has gotten used to her husband's morning routine, as have their two children, Lea and
Galvin. She can hear him from inside the bedrooms, even though they are situated a little distance
away from the living room in the back room of the long distribution corridor, which is the first room
you encounter upon entering their newly built house. They collaborated on the design themselves,
which most of their friends call a "big, expensive box." The house is a modern luxury villa with a one-
story plan. They purchased the property three years ago when Gabriella was pregnant with Galvin.
They themselves have helped design what most of their friends call a -big expensive box. The house
is a Luxurious one-plan villa. They bought the property three years ago when she was expecting
Galvin. They had already done the drawings in collaboration with the Danish American architect Paul
Roberts - whom they both admired then lay down on the plot, and within 5 months, their 350
Square meter dream house was ready. The house is situated on a plot of land with an entrance that
faces the road. A small front garden separates the entrance from the road and is divided in two, by a
wide garden, which leads directly to the road. Due to the height of the plot, there is a wide staircase
with five steps leading from the road to the house. Adjacent to the garden alley, there is a smaller
road that leads to the garage, which is located two meters down. The house itself is rectangular,
white in color, and has a flat black roof. A wide, mahogany double door greets visitors at the top of
the two steps on the large landing. Upon entering the house, you will find yourself in a four-meter-
wide distribution corridor. The entire corridor area has a raised roof section with slanted windows
on each side to allow for natural illumination. To the right of the corridor, there is a large guest
toilet. Moving further down the hall, you will enter a huge, 70-square-meter living room that is open
plan with a large, ultra-modern kitchen. The living room has access to a 700-square-meter garden,
and along the entire side of the house facing the garden, there are five-meter-high glass "windows"
that separate the house and the garden.
At one end of the large main living room, there is a slightly lowered extra fireplace living room that
functions as a kitchen family room. Moving back into the distribution corridor, there is a door that
leads out to the utility room, where there is direct access to the garage. Both a tool room and a
larger hobby- storage room. The entrance via the utility room is the entrance used when you have
been in the garden.
After the living room turns, the distribution corridor leads to two large children's bedrooms on one
side. Further down the corridor, there is another family bathroom opposite the children's bedrooms,
and at the very end of the corridor is the enormous master bedroom. The master bedroom is 40
square meters in size and has access to a 20-square-meter dressing room and a huge bathroom. Via
the changing room, there is also access to the backyard.
Gabriella tries to sleep for another hour or two, depending on when the children wake up. However,
the dark winter mornings are not her favorite, and she finds it challenging to cope with them.
Despite her love for everything about Denmark, the long dark winter, especially from January to
April, feels overwhelming. At times like these, Florida seems like a country on another planet, and
she is consumed by a heavy feeling of homesickness and longing."
"Gabriella dear"
-Sounds like a voice far away.
