History

The land at the site was in the mid 1880s part of F. J. Koch's market gardens. The street was created when he started to sell the land off in lots to members of the higher middle-class for house construction. The name was officially adopted in 1885. The last market gardens, on the east side of the street, disappeared in 1895. The trend in the area had by then shifted from houses to apartment buildings[1]

Buildings

The two oldest houses with address on Kochsvej are considerably older than the street. The house at No. 3 was built for music teacher Adolph Lund in 1852. The building was designed by Bernhard Seidelin.[2] The neighbor at No. 5A is from 1867.[3]

The house at No. 24 was built for the namesake gardener F. J. Koch's own use. It was completed in 1898 to a design by the architect Julius Schmidth.[4]

The villa at No. 18 (11900, SAVE value 3) was designed by Thorvald Jørgensen. It now houses the head office of the London Toast Theatre.[5]

The two large villas at No. 30 and No. 32 were both built in 1901 to designs by H.P.N. Hedemann.[6][7] Frederik Barfod's School, a private primary school with roots dating back to 1834, is now based in the three villas at No. 32-35.[8][9]
