This Jacobsen’s early residential work is in the suburbs of Copenhagen. This is a bay window with a semi-regular hexagonal plane protruding from a traditional yellow brick wall, and a radiator is installed along  the 200mm-high wall. Although it is the only window in the room, a plant is placed in front of it. A large interior glass sash was added to the interior side of the small split-glass window.
