Surrounded by tall birch trees by Arresø in North Zealand, lies a magical cottage in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The architect-designed house merges Japanese-Scandinavian aesthetics with sustainability and uncompromising simplicity in a gentle and calm expression that is a delight for the heart and soul.
Wake up with the birds, brew a cup of coffee, slip out of the cottage in bare feet and walk the three minutes along the path to Arresø to watch the sun rise from the bird tower. After you've started your day in the best, calmest way possible in the middle of nature, you can head back to the cottage and settle down on the sofa or window seat. Read a book, talk to a loved one, or simply let yourself be mesmerized by the view of the silver-white birch trunks and the forest's green foliage, beautifully framed by the cottage windows.
You're in the middle of nature at Arresø, where you can take long walks in the forest or along the lake. In just half an hour you can cycle to Stængehus Strand along the scenic route through Asserbo Plantation and take a dip in the waves before winding down the day under the night sky on the cottage terrace.

We are Jamiee and Stephanie. Jamiee is originally from Wales, has lived in Denmark for a number of years and works as an architect with a focus on innovation and climate. Stephanie is an ethnologist working with the environment, waste and resources. We love nature and need our weekly trips away from the city to the cottage where we relax and immerse ourselves. We bought the land in 2019 and designed and built the cottage in collaboration with Office Kim Lenschow.
The cottage is built on a screw foundation, leaving the forest floor untouched. Sustainability was a top priority, so the house was built with as little waste as possible, using eco-certified and recycled materials. Studio Archival Studies designed and digitally produced the interior, including the kitchen, bathroom, wardrobes and more, and the aesthetic is characterized by Scandinavian and Japanese simplicity.
When we are at the cottage, we enjoy daily walks in the forest and by the lake. We like to have lunch at Tinggaarden, which has a farm shop, and cycle to Stængehus Strand or Tisvilde for swimming. For us, the cottage is the ultimate oasis of peace and quiet, miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
