Description
- Formerly an industrial site used for paper storage.
- Transformed into the fourth-most visited public attraction in Copenhagen.
- Paper Island is a prime example of Copenhagen's shift from an industrial city to a people-centric space.
- Became a hub for street food, art exhibitions, fashion shows, concerts, and flea markets.
- The original urban experiment was planned as temporary but required rebuilding due to poor conditions and sustainability concerns.
- The new vision seeks to celebrate the city's culture and Copenhagen’s way of life.
- Aims to be a prime example of generous urban living in Copenhagen.
- Seeks to attract tourists while maintaining a strong local presence.
- New development based on re-imagining the spirit of Paper Island.
- Cultural activities to occupy new halls at the ground-floor level, offering a diverse and multifaceted experience.
- Located on the border between Holmen and Christianshavn, historic warehouse districts.
- New buildings are placed atop the halls, creating an intimate courtyard space.
- The space functions as a private rooftop garden for residents and a public green space on the ground floor.
- Across the canal, an island will be transformed into a park inspired by 19th-century romantic gardens.
- The project aims to create a sustainable mixed neighborhood with high-quality street spaces.
- The comprehensive hall base includes sales areas, event rooms, galleries, and a swimming pool.
- The upper floors feature apartments surrounding a leafy, wind-protected inner courtyard.
- The building shape and arrangement maximize sun exposure and water views while also functioning as a windbreak for private gardens and public courtyard areas.
- Passive measures, environmental energy use, and a reversible heat pump ensure minimal energy requirements.
- Ground-level halls act as thermal buffer zones during heating and transform into outdoor areas in summer.
- Transsolar supports design optimization for indoor and outdoor comfort, reducing resource needs.
