Four small houses enclosing a central courtyard is the basic frame like structure for this summer residence by the shore of mainland Denmark. The exterior of the house is modest- even slightly introverted - but entering the courtyard reveals a spatially open house with a warm pinewood interior. Glass doors and sliding partitions ensures visual contact between rooms across the courtyard and also provides a clear and unhindered view over the bay.
