Family summer house with 1950s design and heath

An architect designed this holiday home in collaboration with the family’s grandfather, and it’s since held the memories of two generations. Today, you’ll find a home where the 1950s aesthetic is elevated with PH lamps, newly renovated Børge Mogensen chairs, and a kitchen wall in Jura marble.



The large window wall extends four metres up to the ceiling and faces a heathland. They've furnished the home with meticulous attention to detail in every room. They've specially laid out the terrace with large, natural Öland stones, and here you can gather outdoors with a view of the heath.



The garden sits on a double natural plot with woodland nearby. There's an annex on the plot that provides extra space if you're a larger group. Deer wander into the garden, and the woodland behind the house features one of Denmark's best mountain bike trails.



There’s plenty to do in the area. The beach is nearby. If you’re an early riser, you can head to Holløselund to keep an eye out for beavers. From June through October, you can go hunting for chanterelles in the woods. Hundested Harbor, Tisvildeleje, and Liseleje are worth a visit, as is Tothaven, known for its homemade goat cheese.
