The Read-Nest was prefabricated off-site before being trucked to the client's house and snapped into place - the architects point out that there's always the option of re-siting the structure should the need arise. The exterior of the structure is clad in slender slats of naturally oiled wood. A pitched roof rises up to a large concealed rooflight, while a square picture window frames a view back across the garden. Hinged along its top edge, the glass can be opened outwards to form a protective canopy for the adjoining window seat during rainstorms.
The Nest's functional requirements are handled by the broad expanses of deep waxed birch ply shelving, while a day bed can be folded down from the wall beneath the rooflight should the occasion arise for a quick nap. 'One door, one window, one rooflight, one bed, one shelf, one table - everything you need,' say the architects. Founded in 1999 by Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen, following a spell in the office of Henning Larsen, the studio is now best known for large urban planning, residential and commercial projects in and around Copenhagen.
