Utzon's House in Hellebæk

The single-story residence features a glass southern facade, while the northern side contains skylights to maximize natural illumination throughout the interior spaces.

Danish architect Jørn Utzon constructed this residence in 1952 as his first completed work in mainland Denmark, before designing the Sydney Opera House.

The house incorporates principles from Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture, emphasizing the connection between interior spaces and the surrounding natural environment.

The residence follows a modular design of 1.2-meter squares, with movable pine wood partitions that allow flexible arrangement of interior spaces.

During construction, Utzon directed the building process without technical plans, adapting the structure's shape similarly to crafting a sand formation.
