We have been asked by Hofor - the Greater Copenhagen utility, responsible for water supply and wastewater disposal in Copenhagen metropolitan area - to come up with an idea on how to built on top of a SuD (sustainable draining system) in Vallensbæk, Copenhagen.

We propose student housing built in CLT-timber formed as a "bridge" spanning over the open air rainwater bassin. The rainwater is used to water green houses on each floor run by the students and a public roof top garden.

Vallensbæk Student housing

A new roof addition to an old paper center, which today is used as an office hotel. The new addition is done in a green facade cladding that creates a coherence with the building's existing copper detailing. The facade is in cross laminated timber, with a cladding of horizontal boards, divided by a series of vertical posts that create a depth and rhythm to the facade in dialogue with the existing building. The project has received building permits, and will start construction soon.

We are currently exploring new potentials for a number of historic buildings in connection to Holsteinborg Castle, located in the south of Zealand - Denmark. The buildings, many of them dating back to the 17th century, have once been used as barns and stables, but have been out of use for decades. Now they will soon be given a new purpose with focus on creating a lively local meeting point. 

Holsteinborg

Our proposal for a temporary tiny church in the colorful “Skudehavnen” area in Copenhagen’s northern harbor. The church is designed for disassembly, made with repurposed wood for all interior and exterior surfaces. It finds its inspiration in both the colorful area originally used for the fishing industry, and in early renaissance churches like San Miniato in Florence. 

Vandrekirken

We received an honorable mention for our proposal “The oak coffin and the five shields.” The visitor center is in connection to The Egtved Girl’s grave, one of the most essential archeological discoveries from the bronze age in Denmark. The visitor center consists of an exhibition and education building cladded in dark oak shingles. The building is designed with inspiration found in the shape of the beautiful oak coffin, cut out of a single piece of oak tree, in which the Egtved Girl was buried. In connection to the building we propose five “shields” consisting of large round benches placed in the landscape. Here the life of the Egtved Girl is presented through a number of playful and artistic installations The jury awarded our project as one of the five best proposals, describing our take on the storytelling as the most artistic and poetic of all. 

Egtvedpigen

A proposal for a small community house placed on one of the last unbuilt plots in the historic center of Copenhagen. Today the site functions as a narrow parking lot hidden away behind a brick wall. With the project we aimed to give back a small, lush garden and a lively community house to Copenhagen. The inspiration is found in the colors and materials from the neighboring buildings and in the small market stands once placed here. The community house is made as narrow as possible in order to save space for a garden. The construction is made in hempcrete with coloured lime wash and painted timber. In the interior a horizontal fresco works as a backdrop for the many celebrations that could take place here in the future. 

Åbenrå

A full renovation of a beautiful row house from the late 19th century in “komponistkvarteret”, a neighborhood in central Copenhagen with streets named after famous danish composers. The project is now under construction


Berggreensgade

A new summerhouse with an annex for a small family in Rørvig. The facade of the summer house is inspired by both the existing house and the area's many black-painted summer houses like Erik Korshagens’ own summerhouse.  At the large window sections and double doors, there are striking green sliding sections in green painted wood. These give the facade character, play of shadows and can be used to completely close off the house when the house's users are not at home. The project is under construction, and will be built in all biobased materials with a breathable facade. 

Summerhouse Rørvig

An atelier for two artists. Placed among trees on a hilly site in Sjællands Odde. Inspiration is found in the atelier of the Swedish sculptor Carl Eldh in Stockholm. The interior wooden walls are painted light gray, and are defined by a large skylight, and a view to Sejerø Bugt. The project is under construction.
