Circular House Arrangements in Brondby, Denmark
In 1963, inspired by Carl Theodor Sørensen’s illustrious modernist garden project ‘Runde haver’ in Nærum (1948-52), the municipality of Brøndby, together with commissioned landscape architect Erik Mygind, decided to draw up plans for a community allotment garden arranged in 12 circular units (rotunder), sub-divided into seven allotment associations, with each of the 284 allotments occupying a wedge-shaped plot of approximately 400 sqm, including an allowed total building area of <50 sqm. The original plan, finally decided, and allocated a 30 year holding permission, in June 1964 at a General Assembly in 'Folkets Hus', was supplemented with a similarly sized and shaped garden across the road. At the inauguration a start up kit consisting of trees and shrubs were distributed into every allotment, hawthorn and beech plants were used to establish the surrounding hedges, and around the grass and gravel covered centre place cherry trees and currant bushes were added. The resulting spaces in between the circular allotment units were dedicated to communal premises and activities.

The intentions behind the formal(istic) configuration of the area was to mimic traditional socio-spatial patterns from Danish villages, using the centre/middle as a focal point for gossip, news and social interchange. To create a private-public gradient in the plot, and to accommodate for sufficient lighting conditions in its narrow end, the bordering hedges were slanted (from 80 to 180 cm in height) towards the middle – now used mostly for parking purposes.

Bublik. Olympic round house in the urban forest, Moscow, Russia.
According to the idea of the architects at least 5 such houses symbolising the Olympic sign from the five rings, were to appear in Moscow in 1970-ies. 

In 1972, the first house of unusual shape was designed by architect Yevgeny Stamo and engineer Alexander Markelov. The house is located in the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoe district in the west of Moscow, on Nezhinskaya Street and has a circle shape, in the common people - "Bublik". The dwelling house is designed for 913 apartments.

In this house everything was planned. A huge courtyard, in which were almost all the amenities: shops, a pharmacy, a laundry, a studio and much more. The architectural thug could easily be called a city within the city.

It is worth noting the way how the architects managed to achieve the rounding of panel houses. The whole secret is that the construction of panel houses allowed an error of six degrees, which allowed to reach the ring. But why did the "Bagels" not become popular, and the plans for the five rings were collapsed? The answer is simple. One of the most important tasks of Soviet housing construction was low-cost practicality. Round houses were just too expensive to maintain.
