Ørestad Syd is an area of great contrasts; tall apartment blocks rise next to expansive fields of Kalvebod Fælled. During the past few years, construction noise, mud and cranes defined the streetscape, but now other elements are starting to take up space. A green example is the neighborhood park, Mellemrummet, which is placed as a […]

Kalvebod Fælled Skole is a newbuilt municipal primary and lower secondary school with a profile emphasizing sports and movement. The traditional schoolyard design is replaced with an undulating landscape that animates intuitive play and movement – just like nature. Turning the traditional schoolyard design inside out, the solution creates an open space that invites the […]
The housing development Urbanplanen has a green secret: in between the large buildings, there are cherry plums, hazel and birch trees, and at the staffed playground, Bonderen (the Farm), goats graze. Remiseparken is a wonderful green pocket in Copenhagen, and the goal of BOGL’s renewal project was to transform the park into a safe and […]
1:1 Landskab has designed a new and large park in Copenhagen based on Grønttorvet’s special history and identity. A green park for people of all ages For more than half a century, Grønttorvet was a market square where people bought and sold fruit, vegetables and flowers. Today, the site is being transformed into a modern […]
A worn-down ‘non-place’, absent on the locals’ mental city map has been transformed into a modern urban space with a luminous landmark. Smedetoften is a residential area in the centre of Copenhagens Nordvest district with almost no outdoor meeting places. 1:1 Landskab help change that. As part of a municipality led urban renewal project 1:1 […]
Front row to the water Nordhavn is known for its exceptional waterside location and its smart, semi-industrial urban spaces that attract hipsters of all ages. But one residential area stands out from the crowd. That’s Marmormolen. Here, 1:1 Landskab has designed a landscape between the buildings that bring cosiness and a west coast vibe to […]
SLA has designed a courtyard with curvy, bodily shapes which contrasts the edgy appearance of the building. It has the rounded shapes of a painter’s palette. But instead of paint, the substance of the colours consists of different kinds of vegetation in altering heights. As a cornucopia of colours and changing foliage the courtyard garden […]

JDS: If you walk across Langebro on a sunny Saturday afternoon in summer, you’ll see a very peculiar sight when looking down at the old industrial area on Islands Brygge. Hundreds of people dressed in swimwear are walking, standing, sunbathing and smiling about as if they were on a sandy beach far from the metropolis. […]

Schonherr: The square in front of The Museum of Thorvaldsen is part of the southern corner of Slotsholmen in the center of Copenhagen. Apart from the museum, Slotsholmen also presents Christiansborg’s chapel and different governmental museums as well as The Danish Parliament and is one of Denmark’s most significant and historical squares. The overall idea […]
1:1 Landskab: The square is situated in the attractive ’Nansensgade-quarter’ a housing area in the centre of Copenhagen. The square is bounded by the facades of the inner city cultural centre in Copenhagen, 4-5 storey housing and a substation. Formerly, the square was generally a very murky passageway between Nansensgade and the Lakes, an area […]
Adept: Måløv Axis and the adjacent city spaces is a visionary project underlining the lively Måløv city character in close contact to the amazing surrounding landscape. The movement trough the axis will – beyond being easy accessible for everyone, safe and clear – provide a spatial story relating to the distinctive character of Måløv and […]
1:1 landskab: A beautiful tile paving has replaced the dented asphalt and a worn rear building has been demolished to make room for a miniature football field. The idea consists of creating an intimate outdoor space which works as a social gathering point for the residents, but at the same time can be enjoyed as an […]
SLA: The harbor front of Copenhagen has through the years been widely criticized for being the site of low quality office buildings, introvert shopping malls, bad infrastructure, and few, if any, public spaces worth using. Here, above an underground car park on the most traffic-heavy corner of Copenhagen, the Swedish SEB Bank chose to erect […]
1:1 LANDSKAB: The square is dominated by two strong elements; a large iron sculpture consisting of all 28 letters in the Danish alphabet as homage to Dan Turèll’s work and a 47 meter long curved light green bench framing the square. The bench refers to the authors stays in Paris and is a democratic statement. […]
Haslov and Kjaersgaard Planners and Architects: The east coast of Amager, an independent part of Copenhagen, south of the city centre was used for landfill during the 1930 ́ties. An artificial beach was established despite the local conditions with very shallow water. The layout was simple: Sand was held in by means of wooden railing. […]
The curved course of the Købmagergade shopping street is typical of the city centre of Copenhagen. Together with the Hauser Plads, Kultorvet and Trinitatis Church squares, this long street embodies the characteristic image of the labyrinthine medieval city centre. The district has its own daily and weekly rhythms: people cycle, walk, shop, play and go […]
TOPOTEK 1: Superkilen is a heterogenous site-collage in a dense, centrally located neighborhood in Copenhagen. The strongly international quarter with a mix of different cultures is to be revitalized using open space as a physical framework. This space is to be propelled beyond its current role as a mono-functional transit area into being innovative and […]
