Abstract

The ability to be ‘invisible’ seems to be an important quality in relation
to a summerhouse. In fact, summerhouses can be said to be ‘invisible’ in a
double sense. As I will explore in this chapter, summerhouses are neglected
in planning and partly forgotten in Danish building regulations, at the same
time as their owners like to see summerhouses as hidden places where they
can live secret lives, hidden away from the modern world.
