White Houses, Frederiksberg

The building society acquired a 4.5-hectare (11-acre) site at Peter Bangs Vej, just under one kilometre from Frederiksberg Gasworks.

The design is based on a cubic volume where the length, width and height of roof ridge all measure 8.46 m (9 units of 1⅓ ells).

[2] The buildings are designed in a Neo-Baroque style locally known as palæstil, inspired by 18th-century Rococo mansions, which was popular in Denmark at the time.

Common features are white-dressed facades, Mansard roofs with red tiles, gable dormers and small paned windows.

The houses are located on Peter Bangs Vej, Jyllandsvej, Kronprinsensvej, Folkets Allé, Frihedsvej, Lighedsvej and Broderskabsvej.
