Tietgens Ærgrelse, Frederiksgade Square
Copenhagen, Denmark

The project is for a new building on a corner site which presents itself as an unfinished chapter in the historical axis of the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Frederiksstaden.

The building, which will provide commercial units on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors, is designed to complement the Beaux Art ensemble surrounding the marble church of Frederiksgade Square. The objective has been to bind the various elements of the ensemble in a way that accepts the formal architecture of the older classical buildings and the informality of the historicist buildings whilst responding to the informal social patterns that have become established in the buildings around the square. The project has been submitted to planning and is due to be completed in 2009.
