Voldmestergade 7

The kitchen and dining room open through a French door to a walled brick terrace with a tree growing in it. The house is a four-floor brick row house on Voldmestergade in Copenhagen's Kartoffelrækkerne, with 137 square metres of living space and a front court with a bench, a folding table and a scrolled iron railing.

The street is short and the rows face each other across small front gardens, so the approach is on foot, past roses and a tree hung with red berries, to a black door with a leaded fanlight. Inside, the floorboards are painted white from the hall to the attic, and the light follows the stair up through the house.

At the top the ceilings slope, and the windows look across slate roofs and chimneys. Below, the terrace is paved in brick, with a bamboo bench against a painted board fence and climbers growing up it.
