Carl Harald Brummer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Harald Brummer (12 July 1864 14 February 1953) was a


Danish architect who was influential in the design of homes at the
beginning of the 20th century.

Biography

Brummer was born in Bogense. After attending the Danish Academy


from 1888 to 1896, he worked for Ferdinand Meldahl and Hermann
Baage Storck. He initially became known for Ellestuen, a freely
Kllesgrd Inn, Humlebk (1932)
designed country home which was quite different from conventional
houses in Denmark. He soon became one of the leading Danish
architects for designing private homes between the beginning of the 20th century and the First World War
including Svanemllevej 56 (1904) and Lundevangsvej 12 (1908), both in Copenhagen. He also drew on
architecture from the late 18th century, for example in designing Heymans Villa in 1907 before adopting the
Neoclassical style and experimenting with other approaches including simplified Functional designs which can
be seen in Gurre Church (1918) and his own home (1920).[1][2] He died, aged 88, in Skovshoved.
