Fredensborg Houses

Fredensborg Municipality, Denmark

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

Designed by Jørn Utzon and completed in 1963, the Fredensborg Houses form a housing complex in natural surroundings on the outskirts of Fredensborg, a small town in northern Zealand, Denmark. The estate was created specifically for Danes who had spent extended periods working abroad, reflecting Utzon's thoughtful approach to domestic architecture and community design during the postwar period.
