jørn utzon, architect: kingohusene courtyard houses, helsingør 1956-1960
kingohusene courtyard houses, helsingør / elsinore, denmark 1956-1960
architect: jørn utzon, 1918-2008
one of the finer moves in this project is the way the living room and the courtyard are presented as equals as seen here from the entrance. notice how the two doors are hinged on opposite sides.
observations and details like this add greatly to the quality of life but nothing to the building cost. and they abound in utzon's projects. the extravagance and the sad fate of the sydney opera house have blinded us somewhat to this side of the architect's talent.
the individual homes are quite humble, app. 100m2, and originally built with the workers at the local shipyard in mind.
the floor seen in this picture is to the best of my knowledge not original.
