Description:

‘Krøyers Plads’ is a modern version of the old harbor warehouses. The project consists of 38 high-end apartments in combination with the harbour front, a new square, and lively and attractive restaurants on the ground floor. The project has a prime location in the Copenhagen harbour overlooking ‘Nyhavn’ and is the neighbour to the world’s best restaurant ‘Noma’. The architecture is reinterpreting the old warehouses. The facades are made of special bricks, making the building able to blend in with the surrounding historical buildings. The project is the first apartments in Denmark to be ecolabeled by the Nordic Ecolabel.
