Hello,

I found this image of 180 degrees siteplan in Denmark in a German photo-book
by Georg Gerster.

[It's temporarily at  http://l.cohousing.org/bronbyvester.jpg  Fred ]

These are weekend-houses in the village of Bronbyvester, rented for max 30
years. In the summer they are occupied all the time, in winter they can only
be occupied during the weekends.

I didnt find any pictures on the internet.

Here is a scanned image for limited use (there is probably copyright on it).

Kind regards,
Luk Jonckheere
