Frikvarteret Housing

Nordhavnen, Copenhagen

2019

Frikvarteret is a dense residential area in Nordhavn, Copenhagen. The development combines modern architecture with elements of the area's industrial history. It includes different types of homes, including row houses and two-storey courtyard houses, which create a compact and coherent structure. The design builds on a transformation of the area's existing small-scale buildings and gables, creating a connection between the old and the new. Courtyards and shared outdoor spaces provide greene places for the residents. Overall, Frikvarteret creates a modern and welcoming neighbourhood that takes advantage of the area's existing urban and landscape qualities.
