A garage and a guesthouse were added by him in 1965 and 1984. The three buildings were listed on the [[Listed buildings in Odsherred Municipality|Danish registry of protected buildings and places]] in 1999. They are all constructed in timber with steep, thatched roofs to a Minimalist design with inspiration from Japanese architecture. The summer house is located on top of a former coastal cliff whereas the two other buildings are situated at the foot of it. The paving around and between the buildings are also part of the heritage listing.<ref name="Kulturstyrelsen">{{cite web|url=https://www.kulturarv.dk/fbb/sagvis.pub?sag=8472065|title=Sag: Korshage Fjordvej 1|language=Danish|website=Kulturstyrelsen|access-date=16 June 2022}}</ref>

==Architecture== Korshagehus is a single-storey building constructed in timber on poles with [[Cantilever]] boardwalks on three sides. The building is topped by a steep, thatched, [[hip roof|half-hipped roof]]. The roof ridge is pierced by a white-washed chimney. The walls are faced with vertical boarding, intrerupted by doorways with large glazed sections which can be closed by shutters, and a glazed south gable. The house has a rectangular floor plan measuring 18 x 4 metre. A plastered and black-painted brick basement has later been added below the central part of the building to provide support for the timber structure. <ref name="Kulturstyrelsen"/>

The interior has a symmetrical lay-out along the length of the building. The southern portion of the building contains a large living room, partly separated from the adjacent kitchen by the central brick core with fireplace and cupboards. The lower part of the brick core is faced with vertical boarding . Its upper part features a ''[[Raku ware|raku]]'' relief created by [[Bjørn Nørgaard]] in around 1987. The northern part of the building contains first two small rooms, then a bathroom flanked by two corridors, and finally, furthest to the north, a sleeping room in the full width of the building. The attic is one large room without any sources of natural light. The basement contains sauna and a couple of storage rooms.<ref name="Kulturstyrelsen"/>
