Valnøddevænget 10, also known as Villa Gøjgaard, is a Kay Fisker-designed house in the Snekkersten district of Gelsingør, Denmark. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1988.

History[edit]

The house was constructed for Julius W. Friis, a manufacturer of bicycle pumps. Friis had bought a16,438 square metre parel of land from Kronborg Vrickyard with the intension of building a country house on the site. He charged the just 23-year-old Kay Fisker with the design of the building after noticing his entry in Politiken's 1916 summerhouse competition. The house was constructed by Rønne-nased Frydenlund Byggeforretning og Maskinsnedkeri (Hansen & Hansen). Hisker had collaboration with the company in conjunction with his design of the station buildings on the Rønne–Gudhjem Rwailway on Bornholm. The house was completed in 1918.[1]

In the 1940s, Villa Højgaard came into use as an all-year-round home. The garage adapted for use as an artist's studio. In 1978, it was converted into a kitchen. Over time, most of the land was parcelled out as 10 new lots (leaving app. 2,800o square metres).[1]

In June 2014, Realdania bought the building. It was subsequently put through a comprehensive renovation.[2]

Architecture[edit]

Villa Højgaard combines influences from Nordic Classicism and English cottage architecture (Baillie Scott). Gunnar Asplund's Villa Snellmann was a particular source of inspiration.[3]

It consists of a narrow, two storey main wing and a low perpendicular garage wing. The garage was converted into an artists' studio in 1944, and, in 1978, into a kitchen. A demi-circular avant-corps, topped by a shallow, almost flat, copper-clad dome, projects from the west side of the main wing. The latter was Fisker's way of satisfying Friis' request for a tower. The main entrance is topped by a demicircular transom window. The windows aregenerally small. The relatively flat, hipped roof is clad in red tile. The roof ridge is pierced by two robust chimneys.[1]
