Kvindernes Bygning, Functionalist building in Copenhagen, Denmark

The Women's Building features horizontal windows, a recessed attic floor, and pale tiled patterns across its concrete structure in central Copenhagen.

In 1934, architect Ragna Grubb won the design competition for the Women's Building at age 31, marking a milestone for female architects in Denmark.

The building unites various women's associations under one roof, providing meeting spaces and offices dedicated to advancing women's causes in Danish society.

Hotel Cecil occupies part of the structure, while the upper floors contain offices for women's organizations and meeting rooms for community gatherings.

The construction budget of one million Danish kroner in 1935 demonstrated substantial financial support for women's architectural achievements in pre-war Denmark.
