Kingo Houses is a housing development designed by Jørn Utzon in Helsingør, Denmark, completed in 1958. The estate comprises 60 L-shaped houses inspired by traditional Danish farmhouses with central courtyards, as well as Chinese and Islamic dwelling typologies. Now registered as a monument on the Kulturstyrelsen register, the project represents Utzon's distinctive approach to residential design, synthesizing vernacular European forms with architectural traditions from distant cultures.
