The Silo is located between Helsinkigade and Fortkaj at Nordhavn in Copenhagen.

The Silo is part of the transformation of Copenhagen’s Nordhavn (North Harbour) – a vast post-industrial development, currently being transformed into a new city district. Designed by Danish architects COBE with clients Klaus Kastbjerg and NRE Denmark, a 17-storey former grain silo and the largest industrial building in the area has been transformed into “The Silo”, housing residential apartments and public functions.

In order to bring The Silo’s industrial concrete facade up to current standards, the exterior of the existing silo has been reclad, while the interior has been preserved as raw and untouched as possible. An angular faceted exterior facade made of galvanized steel has been installed to serve as a limate shield. This has allowed the building’s characteristic slender tall shape to be maintained.

Dan Stubbergaard, Founder and Creative Director of COBE, says: “We wanted to retain the spirit of The Silo as much as possible – both in terms of its monolithic exterior and majestic concrete interior, by simply draping it with a new overcoat. The aim was to transform it from the inside out in such a way that its new inhabitants and the surrounding urban life would highlight the structure’s identity and heritage. Hence, the use of galvanized steel for the facade, which patinates in a raw way and retains the original harbour character and material feel, lending a roughness and raw beauty to the area, as in its industrial past.”

The spatial variation within the original silo is immense due to the various functions of storing and handling grain, creating space for 38 unique apartments. Single and multi-level apartments range from 106 m2 to 401 m2 in size, with floor heights of up to 7 meters. All apartments have panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, and several have been preserved in raw concrete. The window frames are hidden on the outside of the existing concrete walls, offering expansive views of the city skyline and the Oresund coast.

Both the top and lower levels have public access. The top floor consists of a mirrored glass box housing a public restaurant with a 360-degree view of the city and the sea. The glass facade mirrors the surroundings in the daytime, and at night it is reminiscent of a lantern. The ground floor is designed as a flexible event space.

Dan Stubbergaard says: “Private housing and public functions ensure that the building remains active all day. The public functions at the top and bottom also ensure a multidimensional experience for the various users of the building. From the top you can see almost all of Copenhagen in one panoramic view. It is completely unique, and something all Copenhageners will have the chance to experience. The Silo will be inhabited, but will also be a destination. An urban focal point for the new development at Nordhavn.”

Dan Stubbergaard continues: “By revitalizing our industrial heritage, we discover new potential and highlight historical traces in our cities. They represent a built resource. They represent our history. By doing so, we can transform what many people today perceive as industrial trash into treasure.”

The Silo was completed in May 2017, when its first residents moved in. The remaining residents will move in during the next couple of months, and the restaurant on the top floor is due to open later this year. CPH City & Port Development is currently showing an exhibition on the ground floor of the building on the future development plans for Nordhavn, also created by COBE.

KDAK Hotel Imperial is located on Vester Farimagsgade and Ved Vesterport in Copenhagen. The Imperial Hotel is located just steps from Tivoli Gardens, Strøget, City Hall Square and Copenhagen Central Station.

Hotel Imperial was built by a consortium of artisan masters and since its opening in 1958 has emphasized on offering its guests modern décor and facilities. Its first director was Sonja Mathisen, who was also director of Hotel Randers. Originally, the hotel consisted of 190 rooms, but today the hotel has 304. Three foundations belonging to the second generation of the craftsmen operated the hotel until 2004, when it was taken over by Arp-Hansen.

The hotel was designed by Otto Frankild together with Svend Aage Hansen and Jørgen Høj. The hotel was later refurbished by Jørgen Buschardt.

The hotel has an entire floor dedicated to Børge Mogensen, but the other floors also have designer-decorated rooms.

The building also houses the Imperial cinema, which took longer to complete (inaugurated 1961).

Hotel Imperial is owned by Arp-Hansen Hotel Group, a hotel chain based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Arp-Hansen Hotel Group consists of privately-owned, centrally-located hotels comprising Phoenix Copenhagen, 71 Nyhavn Hotel, Imperial Hotel, The Square, Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center, Copenhagen Island, Copenhagen Strand, Gentofte Hotel and Wakeup Copenhagen Hotels as well as Copenhagen’s brand new luxury hostel, Steel House Copenhagen. Arp-Hansen Hotel Group covers approximately 22% of the room capacity in Copenhagen and has, in addition, more than 100 meeting and conference rooms and one congress hall.

The parking garage located on the corner of Frederik V’s Vej and Edel Sauntes Alle is the first completed phase of the large building project at the Rigshospitalet and is built as a rectangle in concrete with a facade cladding in white lacquered metal slats, which are periodically turned to form a pattern that changes character according to the light and where one stands. The house, which is oriented with the gables east / west, has a driveway from Frederik V’s Vej.

Ramps and descents as well as stairs and elevators are located on the east and west sides of the building.
The car park’s 11 decks have a total of 650 parking spaces and can later be expanded by 350 seats as needed.

Landbrugs- og Fiskeristyrelsen is located on Nyropsgade in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Danish Agricultural Agency is an agency under the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. The staff of the Danish Agricultural Agency, a total of approximately 1,200 strives countrywide to create the optimal conditions for sustainable growth and green transformation in the fields of Agriculture and Plants and horticulture.
Their aim is to secure an efficient and professional administration and achieve the most benefits from working across our respective areas.

Nyropsgade, running north south, is between the main railway line to the east – the line that heads out of the main station to first Vesterport Station and then on to Nørreport – and, to the west there is Sankt Jørgens Sø, the southernmost of the lakes on the west side of the city. This is a curious part of Copenhagen … close to the station, Tivoli and the busy area around the city hall … but most cyclists and most car traffic use the busy roads to the east and west or cut across the north or south end of Nyropsgade so many may not realise that Nyropsgade opens out at the centre to a long but well-proportioned square. The Jepersen building is at the top or north-west corner of the square with the front facing you if you approach Nyropsgade along Dahlerupsgade.

2016 – Volvo XC90 R-Design at Cirkelbroen at Christianshavn Canal in Copenhagen – DK 🇩🇰

2019 – Cirkelbroen at Christianshavn Canal in Copenhagen (Archdaily.com)

The Circle Bridge (Danish: Cirkelbroen) is a pedestrian bridge spanning the southern mouth of Christianshavn Canal in the Christianshavn area of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It connects Applebys Plads to the south with Christiansbro to the north. The bridge was designed by Olafur Eliasson.

The bridge was a gift from the Nordea Foundation. It opened on 22 August 2015.

The bridge consists of five round decks with masts of different heights. The masts are held up by 118 metal cables, giving the bridge a resemblance to a series of sailing yachts. The form highlights the reverse slope of the bridge’s rails, which are made of wood from the Brazilian guariuba tree (Clarisia racemosa).

Cirkelbroen celebrates pedestrians. It reflects the daily life and intimacy that you find around the canal in the Christianshavn neighbourhood, its houseboats and sailing boats, the unique life on the ramparts. Copenhagen’s harbour was once a centre of maritime activity, and Cirkelbroen is a testimony to that history. While working on the bridge, I remembered the fishing boats I saw as a child in Iceland. In the harbour, the boats were often moored right next to each other, and it sometimes seemed that you could even cross the harbour just by walking from boat to boat.

Børnehuset Frederiksvej Kindergarten is located on Frederiksvej in Frederiksberg, west of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Frederiksvej Kindergarten was started in 2011 as a competition won by COBE in collaboration with Preben Skaarup landscape architects, Søren Jensen engineers and Learning Spaces consultants. The kindergarten is officially inaugurated by the city mayor on February 4, 2016 to mark the completion of the project.

The kindergarten aims to create a small village setting for children that break away from the traditional, large scale institutional daycare environment. The small scale village atmosphere at Frederiksvej Kindergarten is achieved by dividing the building into 11 small houses joint together with different orientation. The various play programs in the kindergarten are centered around two winter gardens that resulted in these small, individualized spaces where children can establish their own play niches within the building.

“We wanted to create a kindergarten in a class of its own. A place that provides the best possible settings for our children to grow up in, and promotes their learning and creativity. Children are our most valuable resource and it is important that they get a good and safe childhood. Today there is a tendency towards building bigger and bigger kindergartens. But it is important for us to create intimacy and space for the children’s small worlds in the kindergarten, where they spend a large part of their day.

Hammerichsgade is a street in Copenhagen, north-south runs along the east side of the railway / Boulevardbanen, between H.C. Andersens Boulevard at Jarmers Plads and Vesterbrogade, after which it continues on Bernstorffsgade.

The street was named in 1917 by engineer Holger Hammerich (1845 – 1915), who among other things, worked for a change of conditions for the railway and the main train station in Copenhagen (which led to the construction of the current Copenhagen Central Station from 1911), which gave the idea to the Boulevardbanen.

Amager Strandpark (Amager Beach Park) is a seaside public park in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located on the island of Amager and includes an artificial island and offers a total of 4.6 km of beaches. From the beach, the Middelgrunden wind farm can be seen on the horizon.

The park was founded in 1934 and in 2005 a 2 km-long artificial island was added. The island is separated from the original beach by a lagoon which is crossed by three bridges. The beach has two sections. The northern section has a natural beach environment with winding paths, broad sandy beaches and low dunes. The southern section offers a so-called city beach with a broad promenade and areas for ball play or picnicking. There is also a small marina and parking facilities at the southern end. The lagoon has low-water areas for children as well as a 1,000 m swimming course.

The area is used for runners, swimmers and kayakers, among many others. There is a space for outdoor fitness training and from a small headland, it is possible to go diving. A grassy area at the southern end of the park, known as Femøren (which translates to “the 5 øre coin”), is often used for open-air rock concerts in summer. It is also a popular spot for skateboarders. American pro skater Torey Pudwill has a picture-ad, where he kick-flips down double set stairs at Bunker 2.
