Can Lis, Jørn Utzon (2025)

Can Lis, Jørn Utzon is a visual ode to one of the most iconic homes of the 20th century. The latest installment in Apartamento’s architecture series offers an intimate look at Utzon’s Mallorcan residence—completed soon after his work on the Sydney Opera House—which served as the Danish architect’s abiding family home for over two decades. Photographs by Simon Watson chart the movement of light across Can Lis, illuminating the house as it perches on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
