Ehlersvej 17

Ehlersvej 17 is a notable functionalist house located in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark, designed by architect Frits Schlegel. Completed in 1931, this two-storey villa features a striking combination of red brick and yellow-painted details, with distinctive yellow steel-framed windows. The building, which includes a garage and garden walls, was recognized for its architectural significance and listed as a protected site in 2001. The property has historical ties to Oscar Alfred Borum, a prominent legal figure and professor at the University of Copenhagen, who commissioned the design. Visitors to the area can appreciate the blend of functionalist design and historical context that Ehlersvej 17 represents.
