Courtyard-Style Housing, Denmark
1956-58
Jorn Utzon, Architect
Preceding the Sydney Opera House were two housing developments in
Denmark. The Kingo Houses in Helsingør. Sixty-three L-shaped houses
were built in rows following the contours of the site, providing views
for each house, and access to sunlight and shelter from the wind.
The Kingo houses have a living room and study in one section, and
the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom in the other. Walls of varying
heights closed the remaining open sides. For many architects the Kingo
Houses remain one of their favourite projects due to the scheme's
combination of simplicity and inventiveness.
