"Knud Styrups hus" (Knud Styrup’s House), Fanø - wall piece - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit with an architectural motif from Fanø. The motif shows a close section of the house façade with a green double door, a green window with shutters, reddish brickwork and a striking white arch around the upper part of the building.

A motif with green door, brickwork and Fanø atmosphere

The motif is built around the façade of the house. The green double door stands centrally in the embroidery and forms a clear focal point. The door has light panels, small dark details and a calm symmetry, giving the motif a classic and decorative expression.

Above the door is a green window with dark glazing bars and shutters. The window is placed in the upper part of the façade and is framed by reddish bricks and a white arched form. The arch gives the embroidery a distinctive architectural character and creates a fine contrast to the green and red shades.

The brickwork is depicted in pink, red and brown tones. The small stitches create a lively brick structure, where the colours together give the impression of an old façade with history and patina. At the sides are lighter wall sections, which frame the door and create balance in the composition.

Knud Styrup’s House and Fanø’s building culture

Knud Styrup’s House is located at Øster Land 16 on Fanø and is one of the houses with a clear connection to the island’s old built environment. Fanø’s historic houses are shaped by the island’s maritime culture, where captains’ houses, longhouses and characteristic façades became an important part of the settlement.

In the embroidery, the focus is not the whole house, but the distinctive expression of the façade. The green door, the green window, the reddish bricks and the white arch bring the motif together in a simple, recognisable architectural portrait. This gives the wall piece a clear Fanø atmosphere and makes it suitable as a memory of the island.
