Case Study: Jeppe Utzon Architecture & Design achieves streamlined 3D design and visualization with VectorWorks

Jeppe Utzon Architecture & Design - Customer Case Study

Jeppe Utzon Architecture & Design, founded in Copenhagen in 2004 by Jeppe Utzon, blends architectural practice with product design informed by a strong family design tradition. The firm’s recurring challenge is to reconcile clean, simple aesthetics with real-world usability — for example, turning often-unused outdoor grills into attractive, everyday furniture and designing homes that anticipate changing accessibility needs without sacrificing form.

Working across media—hand models, renderings and CAD tools like Vectorworks and CINEMA 4D—Utzon simplified complex briefs into elegant, functional solutions: a stainless-steel/Corian Electrolux barbecue that closes into a patio table (sold out initial runs and winner of Good Design Australia and U.S. Bottom Line awards) and Æblehaven, a highly customized, wheelchair-ready home built in a year whose clients report ongoing satisfaction. The work has earned design prizes, grants and industry recognition while demonstrating how thoughtful, restrained design can deliver both beauty and practicality.
