Originally a pure industrial base, the
northern coast of Copenhagen has now been gradually transformed into a part of
this growing city. During the renovation, although the original factories,
shipping terminals and port terminals were idle, the development here is
getting faster and faster.
The project is
stacking the recycled containers, as experimental prefabricated components, to
three layers, this solution challenged the widespread waste disposal problem and
traditional construction techniques. The flexible and large-span space between
container units is mainly used as offices, the indoor space can also provide
second function, such as meeting rooms, studios and storage.
The
high-performance insulation sandwich panels on the exterior of the container building help to protect the building from the harsh climate in Scandinavia.
These sandwich panels are fastened directly to the container frame as windows,
roofing elements and floors. Pipeline, wireway and other plumbing are all
exposed, easy to install and disassemble.
From the
container's 40-foot interior space to 120-foot-tall spaces between different
units, the varied space experience and dimensions can be adapted to a variety
of different usage functions. Staggered floors and large windows generate a
sense of being as if working in a large family with different work groups in
different parts of the building. In addition, the large floor-to-ceiling
windows ensure that the sun shines in the deepest part of the building during
the day, minimizing the use of lights.

Large-span
flexible space between two containers is for office purpose.
