Extension to The Danish Police MuseumProject from sixth semester

The Danish Police Museum is located in the centre of Copenhagen. The late 19th century building, with its calm backyard, is surrounded by buildings with different architectural aesthetics and scale. The existing context and how the interior context communicates with the exterior context, became the foundation of the project. I wanted to give the space an additional architectural expression, rather than continuing in the present. By focusing on the interior context, I tried to extend the building in terms of flow and idea.

The extension is characterized by the light shafts penetrating all the three floors, connecting them both horisontally and vertically. The plan structure is derived from a need to maximize the areal without invading to much on the existing environment. The floor plans and the purposes of the different parts have been designed according to the light being let in. The double glass facade keeps the environment as silouettes, without shutting out the light.

A restaurant in an industrial areaProject from fourth semester

The old shipyard located at Refshaleøen in Copenhagen was the loca-tion for our wooden constructed restaurant project. The old concrete docks are now empty and facing the city centre of Copenhagen across the river. The building is placed on the edge of one of the big docks, and certain elements are drawn from old boathouses that have character-ized the area. The foundation of the building is casted into the original dock and is at the same time creating the interior of the restaurant. The wooden construction on top has a classic shape, but the elements are arranged further and further a part to let more of the nature in as you move closer to the edge. The building ends up in a ramp, letting the water make its way into the room which also generates the edges that further characterizes the space.

Analysis of The Royal Library in CopenhagenProject from fifth semester

The Royal Library in Copenhagen was built in 1906 by architect Hans J. Holm. The analysis of the building consisted of three parts. The first part was a facade analysis in two different scales, using both computer drawing and oilpastel crayons as techniques.

In the second phase we analyzed the building through different sections. In my series of sections, I tried to reconstruct the building using several overlapsed sections. The Royal Library has the most important collec-tion of danish litterature and the contents are invaluable. As a result, only a small part of the building is open for the public. By reconstruct-ing the shape of the rooms, I could show the difference in density and volume which seperate the different parts of the library.

In the third phase we created an object that symbolized the analysis we made in the earlier phase. I extracted the rather complicated floor plan and let the collections be shown as an element I could repeat in different dimensions according to the density. The lack of natural flow in the plan is due to the fact that the collections has to be kept in the private parts of the museum. In my object, the plan always ends were the collections begin.

Student housing and a bookstoreProject from third semester

This project involved making student housing and a bookstore in a small lot in the city centre of Copenhagen. The need for space efficiency, gave the stair case an important role. My focus was to work with an interesting flow throughout the building, which resulted in a stair case that shifted between the floors. The stair case did not only affect the interior of the building, but did also generate the exterior form. The floor plans are organized like smaller cells and the rooms are working like extensions to the stair case.
