Krøyers Plads is a significant location in the centre of the Copenhagen harbor area. The design is based on a hyper-democratic and contextual approach, consisting of 3 five-story housing units, naturally continuing the historic warehouse structure along the harbour. Folded roofs and architectural heaviness create a dialogue between old and new. Instead of inventing a new building typology, Krøyers Plads is a modern reinvention of the 300-year old industrial warehouses found adjacent to the site.
