The house sits on the edge of a forest in Asserbo, Denmark, a small town inhabited since the 12th century.
Inside, the openness of full-height ceilings contrasts with the density of the surrounding forest.
The interiors are by Danish designer Louise de Fønss, who kept bulky furniture off the floor to maximize usable space in the main entertaining room.
Interior walls are clad in boards of slightly different thicknesses, lending a light checkerboard look in a nod to the exterior cladding.
The interior is modern and cool, softened by textiles.
The cabin’s exterior is clad in solid oak boards treated with iron sulfate–both to protect the wood and to achieve a weathered look.
The vertically oriented boards are mostly accompanied by vertical windows framing views of the woods–but occasionally a horizontal window breaks up the monotony.
