Friis & Moltke

Knud Friis (1926-2010) and Elmar Moltke Nielsen (1924-1997) founded FRIIS & MOLTKE in 1954. In the 1960s they introduced Danes to their mild version of Brutalism, which often featured huge, robust building structures tucked into the landscape, raw concrete walls and visible technical installations. They designed several detached houses, terraced houses and courtyard-style housing complexes, not to mention a number of commercial and institutional buildings in Denmark.
