Individual and Standard Houses

1965

Background

In 1959, the government stopped providing state-guaranteed mortgages. After that, homes were financed through bond issuance, as indicated by the available financing options. In the early 1960s, housing construction developed significantly.

High inflation meant that the cost of financing homes fell considerably over a few years. Efficiency improvements in construction, combined with increased prosperity, led to a rise in the demand for larger homes, and during the 1960s, home sizes increased by more than 100%. This development formed the basis for the designs that Vodder and Borg launched in 1965 and later.

Individual Houses Type T & V

Standard Houses Type A

A new type of house was introduced in Denmark in the early 1960s, inspired by Bauhaus and functionalism. This type of house, known as the "modernist house," is characterized by flat roofs and large glass panels. These houses differed from traditional single-family homes. With the staggered walls and large glass panels, the houses achieved a fluid spatial flow and close connection to nature.

Inspired from this trend Vodder and Borg in 1965 introduced their Individual houses T and V.
