Brøndby Haveby, a group of dwellings tucked inside a grid of perfectly round flora, is an odd and peculiar sight on the outskirts of Copenhagen. It looks as though aliens built this enticing area for a community. 

Photographer Hendry Do captured this stunning sequence of shots recently, showcasing how exceptional the location is, with the warm glow of the sun casting a mesmerizing shadow over the lush green surroundings.  “I had no intention of taking pictures here; everything happened by accident. While touring the nation’s capital with my spouse, I happened to run into a few Danes who expressed interest in my photos. They recommended that I visit Brøndby Haveby because it was constructed in the past. I did not feel let down! It was really distinctive—like an entire pizza with each slice serving as a dwelling. In Lonely Planet, Henry said.

When the municipality of Brøndby approved the resorts’ development in 1964, the Garden City was constructed. Henry claims that the arrangement of typical tenth-century Scandinavian settlements served as the model for the design.  The circular layout was designed by landscape architect Erik Mygind to foster a sense of community, and city people looking for a taste of country living usually rent the houses from April to October. Many of the houses are only utilized as sheds or storage spaces, but there are standards in place limiting how they can be used. 

“The response to the pictures was incredible. I was quite fortunate because the circumstances and the light were ideal. It was amazing for me to be able to capture this in clear weather because Copenhagen has a lot of rains. It was also incredibly amazing to see this location from above. From a distance, Brøndby appears to be any ordinary neighborhood anywhere in the world. My perspective shifted only when I flew the camera above and around,” Henry remarked.

The Instagram collection of photos received over 40,000 likes, demonstrating that visitors from outside of Denmark are equally enthralled with the gardens.
