Modern Homes with Distinctive Chimneys
Where there's a fireplace, there's a chimney—these four modern homes show that smokestacks don't always have to recall the old-fashioned.
After living on and studying a woodsy acre of land in North Zealand, Denmark, architect Jesper Brask cleared a stand of pine trees and, from the timber, built a getaway open to its surroundings. The house, which Brask shares with his wife, Lene, and sons, Kristian, Jens, and Niels, is used mainly in summer, when the weather is optimal for throwing open the glass doors.
