60 Small Houses – Danish Architecture 1915–2023

Architect-designed single-family houses make up an important chapter in Danish architectural history. The 60 selected examples in this guidebook date from 1915–2023 and have all previously featured in one of the two Danish architecture journals Arkitekten or Arkitektur DK.

The presentation includes professional architecture photographs, scale drawings, factual details and brief quotes from descriptions over the years. With a short introduction and a handy name index, the book provides a richly illustrated overview of Danish architecture across a timespan of more than 100 years.
