Architect Jan Henrik Jansen has designed and built single-handedly a modern home in the bucolic Danish island of Møn.
Created as a peaceful family retreat, the home has a design composed of nine interlinked cylindrical volumes that have been constructed with timber frames and clad with narrow spruce branches, a waste product of the forestry industry.
