The three cabins at first light

The three cabins at first light

Two years after the family moved in, we went back to the Lake Cabins at Furesø to see how three generations share one shoreline.

Each cabin was turned a few degrees from its neighbour so that no window looks into another. The family told us that this small turn is what makes it possible to spend a whole summer together.

The jetty as a living room

The shared jetty has become the place where everyone meets. Breakfast happens there from May to September.

“We see each other all day, but never through a window.”
