fredensborg housing - a photo on Flickriver

            fredensborg housing, fredensborg, denmark, 1963, architect: jørn utzon

Fredensborghusene is a housing complex with senior residences for Danes returning home, located in scenic surroundings close to Fredensborg Castle. The houses were designed by the Danish architect Jørn Utzon (1918-2008), who also designed the Sydney Opera House.

The independent institution (DSI) Fredensborghusene was founded by Danes Worldwide to create a home for Danes who might find it difficult to return after many years abroad. The residents thus share the experience of having been expatriates. With the collective thinking behind the houses, Jørn Utzon was ahead of his time. The inspiration was drawn from private “social clubs” abroad, where people meet and eat together while cultivating a sense of community with like-minded people in a place that fosters inclusivness.
