Bohrs Tower

Completed in 2016, the 22-storey Bohr’s Tower contains 88 homes and was the first building in Copenhagen to reach a height of 100 metres.

Bohr’s Tower is named after Niels Bohr, the Danish Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Architecturally, the sculptural expression of the tower has deliberately been reduced to ensure that it refers to its larger surrounding context. The living rooms are strategically placed in the corners of the tower, where the windows are widest. For those not afraid of heights, the windows can be pushed aside. The size of the glass narrows towards the centre, to add a slimming contour and prevent heat loss. The facade is clad with bronze-anodized sinusoidal aluminium panels that are perforated to interact with the changing daylight and seasons. The brown colour references the existing listed buildings in the area by the Carlsberg City District.
