Allé Husene
Classical terraced houses with a twist
The houses are reminiscent of Arne Jacobsen's modernist chain houses, which are also characterised by the use of tiles and roofs with a pitch that renders the house with sculptural strength.

The classical terraced houses, Allé Husene, are reminiscent of Arne Jacobsen's modernist chain houses, which are also characterised by the use of tiles and roofs with a pitch that renders the house with sculptural strength. The houses are divided into terraces of five to eight houses.
While the houses look the same from the outside, they are all very different on the inside because the individual owners have influenced the design of kitchens, bathrooms, and so on.
The houses have three floors and each house has a garden and two patios. Footpaths lead to the houses from the main road, keeping traffic at a distance and emphasising the peaceful and quiet environment – suitable for families with children and elderly people. There are several playgrounds and petanque courts in the area, providing a rich social life.
