Hornbækhus

Hornbækhus is a Neoclassical apartment building situated between Borups Allé and Aagade in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in 1923 to designs by Kay Fisker, with a length of approximately 200 metres and a width of 80 metres, holding 290 apartments, it is considered one of the finest examples of the particularly large perimeter blocks, in Danish known as storkarréer (Grand Blocks" or the kilometerstilen (the kilometre style), which were constructed in the 1920s in an effort to combat the increasing housing shortage of the time. The central garden complex was designed by Gudmund Nyeland Brandt. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1983.
