The Royal Library Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1 DK-1219 Copenhagen http://wwwkbdk The Royal Library is with its clean-cut lines and glittering polished surfaces one of the most significant architectural landmarks on the Copenhagen waterfront Clad in black granite, the extension to the Royal Library is known as The Black Diamond Situated in the historic heart of Copenhagen, the extension marks a radical shift from traditional library structure and accommodates a range of cultural facilities Open and essentially democratic, the building includes scientific and literary institutions, exhibition rooms, a bookshop, a café and a restaurant, as well as a roof terrace and a hall for concerts, theatrical performances and conferences The new library has seven storeys plus a basement The solid black cube is divided in two by a vast glazed atrium housing the majority of public functions This central space, affording panoramic views over the waterfront, also serves as a significant source of daylight which is dispersed throughout the building photo: Project is public! 1999 27500 m² Acoustics consultant Structural engineer Anders Chr gade Moe & Brødsgaard The Danish Ministry of Culture Mieke Reading Room East and Reading Room North: Monday to Friday: 9 am to 9 pm, Saturday: 10 am to 5 pm, Sunday closed http://wwwmimoaeu/users/simocero/guides/copenhagen%20/ 2

Birkerød Sports and Leisure Centre Bistrupvej 1 3460 Birkerød The sports and leisure complex in Birkerød north of Copenhagen has a distinctive, sculptural quality, further enhanced by the building s essential transparency The building s organic curves echo the surrounding undulating landscape The complex is designed to be multifunctional and includes a large, two smaller halls allowing the complex not only to accommodate major sporting events, concerts and other cultural events, but also school sporting events and small, local sports initiatives requiring more intimate settings The building s façades have been decorated by the Danish artist Astrid Krog and is an example of the close collaboration between artist and architect that is often to be found in the work of the practice Black circles form interlinking patterns when the louvres are closed The translucent cladding brings a glowing quality to the natural daylight filtering through to the interior spaces photo: Project is public! 2-2008 9200 m², Landscape architect, Urban planner schmidt_hammer_lassen_ Birkerød Municipality http://wwwmimoaeu/users/simocero/guides/copenhagen%20/ 4
Nykredit Headquarters Kalvebod Brygge 20 1780 Copenhagen Nykredit's head office is one of the largest corporate buildings in Copenhagen and occupies an unparalleled location on the city's central waterfront Across nine of its ten storeys, the complex is divided into two svelte office wings, separated by a spacious atrium The structure is one large cubic volume of glass, steel and granite and stands as a gateway between water and city The entrance level extends across the entire complex and incorporates the reception, art installations, lecture hall and a broad main staircase that leads up to the atrium, the building's heart With its suspended meeting boxes and glazed lifts as well as transverse walkways and balcony floors, the space offers an aesthetically stimulating and inspirational working environment The building's generically urban design relates to the promenade and neighbouring buildings and mediates the transition between city and harbour photo: Project is not public! 2001 24000 m² Nykredit schmidt_hammer_lassen_ http://wwwmimoaeu/users/simocero/guides/copenhagen%20/ 5

The Crystal Puggaardsgade / Hambrosgade 1562 Copenhagen The Crystal reads as a transparent, geometrical, glazed form which, resting only on a single point and a single line, floats as a visually light, crystalline structure above the plaza The building is intermediate between the city and the harbour, and harmonises with neighbouring buildings On the southern side, it rises and creates space for the main entrance From one corner, there is passage under the building and a clear view out towards Nykredit s head office building, called the Glass Cube, and the harbour The interior layout of the building has been designed for optimum functionality, flexibility and efficiency The typical floor plan is disposed in a Z-shape around two atria, which ensures that all workstations are well lit and enjoy a view The building s multi-faceted glass façade reflects both daylight and the immediate surroundings, but also features an integrated sunscreen that allows the building to adapt to changing light conditions photo: Project is not public! 2011 7000 m² Main designer, Landscape architect Structural engineer SLA Grontmij I Carl Bro A/S Alectia HelleBeelden http://wwwmimoaeu/users/simocero/guides/copenhagen%20/ 7
Kromann Reumert Head Office Sundkrogsgade 5 2100 Copenhagen The Kromann Reumert head office is a modern and flexible office building set in an attractive site on Copenhagen's northern waterfront: Kalkbrænderihavnen Comprised of a large right-angled U-shape that rests on a solid base, the building embraces a courtyard Its ground plan is symmetrical, consisting of two wings that are connected by a striking foyer building which houses the entrance area The symmetry is broken, however, by the presence of three floating, curvilinear overhanging balconies in the transparent foyer volume, which incorporates a number of the shared functions Distinctive, specially designed furnishings contribute to the sharply individual design of the interior space The offices are positioned so as to allow visual contact both to the foyer and the courtyard, as well as offering views out towards the extensive docks The façades are articulated by louver systems of steel and granite that filter the light and act as a discreet shield photo: Project is public! 2002 14000 m² PFA Pension schmidt_hammer_lassen_ http://wwwmimoaeu/users/simocero/guides/copenhagen%20/ 8
