A Danish couple based in South America engaged us to design and equip their newly built Copenhagen apartment. Furniture, fittings, colours and materials were carefully selected for the clients.
With the client’s desire to create a modern apartment, whilst avoiding the usual collection of Scandinavian classics, we brought life and personality to the cold white bare rooms and gave their home a sense of meaning and personality. Several bespoke pieces were created for this home – library wall shelving, walk-in closets and benches, office cabinet walls, kitchen cabinet, entrance wall storage and a lounge table with thick terrazzo plates and brass details.
Situated between two lakes and within the community of Christiania, the new Noma is built on the site of a protected ex-military warehouse once used to store mines for the Royal Danish Navy. Imagined as an intimate culinary garden village, guests are welcomed to experience a new menu and philosophy that will redefine Noma for years to come.
Central to the design was the idea of dissolving the restaurant’s individual functions and organising them into a collection of separate yet connected buildings. A total of 11 spaces, each tailored to their specific needs and built of the finest materials best suited for their functions, are densely clustered around restaurant’s heart putting the chefs at the heard of it all. Every part of the restaurant experience – the arrival, the lounge, the barbeque, the wine selection and the private company – are all clustered around the chefs. From their central position, they have a perfect overview to every corner of the restaurant while allowing every single guest to follow what would traditionally happen behind-the-scenes.

Noma 2.0 is located near Christiania on a historic site next to a lake that was once part of Copenhagen’s ancient fortifications. An existing concrete building that had been used for munition storage was turned into prep kitchens, fermentation lab and staff rooms. Bjarke Ingels’s BIG designed a complex of 11 new buildings for the restaurant, test kitchen and greenhouses. Clustered like classic Norwegian farm buildings they will eventually be surrounded by trees and plants with expansive views of the lake. Studio David Thulstrup designed the interiors to be true to the structure, echoing the external materials and with an honest, simple and modern feel.
The BLOX project, home of the Danish Architecture Center (DAC), contains exhibition spaces, offices and co-working spaces, a café, a bookstore, a fitness centre, a restaurant, twenty-two apartments and an underground automated public carpark, but it is not the acrobatic mixing of uses that defines this project; its ultimate achievement is in ‘discovering’ its own site.
The Old Brewery site, split into two by one of Copenhagen’s main ring roads, didn’t really register as a building site until the design of the new DAC identified it as such. Straddling the road, making public connections both above and below, BLOX connects the parliament district with the harbour front and brings culture to the water’s edge. A space for cars becomes a space for people; a space to pass through becomes a space to reside.

CIS Nordhavn is a new school building for the Copenhagen International School, which will be located on a prominent site in Copenhagen’s new Nordhavn district. The 25,000 m2 school building will be Copenhagen’s largest school, and accommodate 1,200 students and 280 employees.
The modern educational architecture is designed to link the school premises with the public sphere in the urban environment, and give the school an open ambience. The promenade outside the school will become an urban port-side space providing opportunities for relaxation and various activities.
The Helmet House is a family house located in Copenhagen, a densified area as with so many other capitals. As the city is becoming more dense, it’s hard to find a house for an average large family without the prices being unreasonably high. An average size family should be able to stay in Copenhagen and not move. We gave them a house so that they could. An ordinary house transformed into extraordinary architecture. The quality of architecture. That’s something that everyone should have access to.
New Copenhagen office by PLH Arkitekter has Scandinavian simplicity and intuitive functionality in every detail.
America Square on the Northern edge of Copenhagen City
Situated on Amerika Square – comprising a total of 150,000m2 of commercial and residential development on Copenhagen city’s Northern edge – the building marks its presence with a striking curved corner towards the busy Kalkbrænderihavnsgade, likewise towards the inner square behind. Thus creating a welcoming meeting with its urban context where residential, office, retail and restaurant activities blend and interact with life on the square.
In October 2017, the Danish law firm Lundgrens moved into a new 3000 m2 domicile in northern Copenhagen. As a part of a radical revitalisation of the entire brand, the client brief was to create an office decor that supports the DNA, vision and visual identity of Lundgrens.
The Space Planning department from Årstiderne Arkitekter created the interior concept for the office design that creates a professional atmosphere with luxurious, simple and functional spaces.
The Pharma Science Building is a new, modern laboratory building for the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences as part of the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Health Sciences at the North Campus.
While respecting its history and original architecture, Årstiderne Arkitekter has redeveloped the former post office Postgården in central Copenhagen. Today, the iconic building has been re-established as a central and vibrant address – a business house offering attractive shops, leasehold offices and 800 workplaces. At the same time, a building has been created which now opens up to the outside world, breathing new life into the surrounding cityscape.
