Henning Larsen
Denmark

The Kolonihavehus is designed as a pavilion with a 360 degree view. You can follow the rhythm of the light; from the first rays of sun to sunset and the stars at night. The house is fitted with several layers of screens so that the occupant can regulate the light during the different seasons.
In the winter, where the screens completely enclose the house, the pavilion becomes a hideaway.
In the spring the house begins to open-up like a flower until finally the last thin membrane disappears to let the summer breeze pass through the pavilion.
The house is constructed of tuja wood.
