Nobody Does a Beach House Quite Like the Danes

The getaway is located on the west coast of Zealand in Denmark. Jette’s son had recently built a summerhouse nearby, and Jette and Mogens appreciated the work of the architect, Mads Lund. "We felt we could have a good collaboration with him, rather than being a small client with a big company," Jette explains. "We started to talk with him about what we liked about my son’s house, as well as our own ideas for our summer home."
