Architect: Arne Jacobsen.
Location: Klampenborg, Denmark.
Year: 1950.
Arne Jacobsen, a Danish architect, created the Søholm Row Houses in Klampenborg, a small town north of Copenhagen, and they were finished in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Søholm homes, together with his Bellavista complexes, contributed to Jacobsen’s rise to fame internationally.
Sholm reflects the post-war trend for more traditional brick construction, which the architect Kay Fisker has called Functional Tradition and was inspired by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Church, Klint’s Grundtvig’s which was also constructed of yellow brick. This is in contrast to Jacobsen’s white-plastered Functionalism in his Bellavista developments. reflects the post-war trend for more traditional brick construction, which the architect Kay Fisker has called Functional Tradition and was inspired by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Church, Klint’s Grundtvig’s which was also constructed of yellow brick.
