Other Projects by Holscher Nordberg Architecture and Planning
Skibbroen
Enghave Brygge, København SV, København, Denmark
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2012
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
The Skibbroen Housing Project is located on a site on the Copenhagen harbour front between the Fisketorvet shopping mall, the Tømmergraven harbour appendix and Vasbygade, one of the main transportation routes leading to the centre of Copenhagen.
The housing estate and office facilities Holscher Nordberg designed for the site consists of two angular u-shaped residential buildings closest to the waterfront and two angular v- and w-shaped office volumes along Vasbygade.
The intention of the project is to create a unifying urban space that creates spatial quality in a complex area of the city. Our thorough site analysis led us to the idea of organizing the buildings around a centrally positioned starfish-shaped park-like garden that opens up towards the harbour. We also focused on creating an attractive leisurely promenade between the buildings and the waterfront. The open courtyards of the two u-shaped residential buildings as well as their angled gables faces the waterfront and allows for beautiful views over the harbour from the light and spacious apartments.
The overall architectural expression of the two residential buildings is inspired by their angled plane geometry. The architecture thus underpins the main concept and dynamics of the masterplan for the area. Large unbroken window bands on each floor creates an overall horizontally orientated expression in the facades, yet fields in the facades are mutually offset and thereby forms diagonal lines through the facades. Together with long balconies, this creates an overall vibrantly light and varied brick-clad facade.
The outside areas – the park and the waterfront – focuses on different recreational activities as well as providing a pleasant public promenade connecting the harbour area. Thus, we have made an effort in maintaining and enhancing the area’s unique maritime character.
