Last week, all of KI had the pleasure of being able to visit our project the Water culture house Papirøen, which is currently under construction here in Copenhagen . Kim Petersson and Bill Jensen from MT Højgaard welcomed us with exciting presentations about their work on the project followed by a tour of the construction site.

KI has designed the steel structure of the water culture house. It was therefore very exciting to see it standing in all its glory before the beautiful handmade tiles will cover it up.

The building consists of 5 "cones", which are partially supported by a steel grid girder located centrally in the building (the painted steel).

MT Højgaard offered drinks and a good view after the trip, and we ended the evening with delicious Italian food at Tony's just on the other side of the water. Many thanks to Kim and Bill for the tour and the fantastic cooperation throughout the project.
