60 Small Houses: Danish Architecture 1915–2023 maps more than a century of architect-designed single-family houses in Denmark through 60 carefully selected examples, each drawn from the pages of the country's foremost architectural journals.
About This Book
The single-family house has long served as a testing ground for Danish architectural ideas — a space where spatial economy, material honesty, and domestic life converge. This guidebook gathers 60 architect-designed houses spanning 1915 to 2023, all previously published in either Arkitektur DK or Arkitekten, the two leading Danish architecture journals. The result is a century-long survey of residential design in Denmark, presented through professional photography, scale drawings, factual data, and period descriptions. For students and practitioners interested in Scandinavian modernism and the evolution of domestic architecture, it is an unusually direct primary resource.
