**Korshagehus**, situated at Korshage Fjordvej 1, just north of [Rørvig](/source/R%C3%B8rvig), [Odsherred Municipality](/source/Odsherred_Municipality), Denmark, is a Modernist [summer house](/source/Summer_house#In_the_Nordic_countries) constructed in 1960 by architect Erik Korshagen for his own use. A garage and a guesthouse were added by him in 1965 and 1984. The three buildings were listed on the [Danish registry of protected buildings and places](/source/Listed_buildings_in_Odsherred_Municipality) 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.[1]

## Architecture

Korshagehus is a single-storey building constructed in timber on poles with [Cantilever](/source/Cantilever) boardwalks on three sides. The building is topped by a steep, thatched, [half-hipped roof](/source/Hip_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. [1]

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](/source/Raku_ware)* relief created by [Bjørn Nørgaard](/source/Bj%C3%B8rn_N%C3%B8rgaard) 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.[1]
