Sjælland Huse : Modern Buildings by key Danish Architect



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.
