Price-winning architecture
Krøyers Plads is a significant location in the centre of the Copenhagen harbour area. The project consists of 3 five-story housing units, with folded roofs in a distinct architectural expression. The buildings contain 38 high-end apartments in combination with a harbour front, a new square and lively and attractive restaurants on the ground floor. The architecture of the buildings is inspired by the old warehouses in the harbour area.
Krøyers Plads is the first multi-story building complex in Denmark to receive the environmental stamp "Svanemærket" for its use of green materials and low energy consumption.
The project has won a price for best residential development 2015 at MIPIM - an international real estate show in Cannes.
Complex roof geometry
KI carried out the detailed structural design of all the steel structures in the roof. Due to the complicated geometry of the roof structure and its interconnection with the concrete walls and floors of the building, a 3D FE model was used for global verification of the in-plane roof stiffness.
The participants:
Architects: Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects & COBE Architects. Main structural engineer: COWI. Steel detail design: KI.
