Therefore, the new Krøyers Plads is based on a hyper-democratic and contextual approach through an extensive dialogue with the local community. The project consists of 3 five-story housing units, naturally continuing the warehouse structure along the harbour. Folded roofs and architectural heaviness create a dialogue between old and new, and a modern, empathetic interpretation of the architectural uniqueness of the old Copenhagen warehouses. With a prime location in the Copenhagen harbour, opposite the Royal Playhouse, the historical Nyhavn, and next to the world’s best restaurant, Noma, the project consists of 3 hou¬sing units with a total of 105 apartments ranging from 79 to 250 m2 in size.

The ground floor of the three buildings houses restaurants, shops and a supermarket. Krøyers Plads is surrounded by a wooden waterfront promenade, which has become a favorite spot to catch the sun in the Danish summers. Krøyers Plads was developed after a series of sustainability principles, which means that the buildings meet the need for environmental, social, economic and resource-focused aspects of construction. All apartments in Krøyers Plads were sold before construction started.
