Open House with Jan Utzon
Hellebæk
English, Danish
From 2025, you can come to the Open House and meet Jan Utzon in meaningful conversations about creativity and how architecture shapes our lives.
This two-hour experience takes place in the home that his father, Jørn Utzon, designed for the family in 1950. Here you will have the opportunity to hear his stories and gain insight into the family's rich design heritage. The experience is created for conversation and inspiration, where you can experience his home, his art and hear about his life story. The evening is about sharing inspiration through buildings that matter to us — it's not a lecture, but a chance to create a common starting point for meaningful connections. No architectural knowledge is required.
