New homes with a sense of community above the courtyard

Copenhagen’s South Harbour has gained three new residential blocks with the construction of Køhlers Have on Borgmester Christiansens Gade. The development comprises 383 homes, welcoming courtyards and communal roof terraces that encourage residents to meet and socialise.

Neighbourly interaction has been incorporated as a natural part of the development. Walkways between the various roof terraces connect the buildings, while the communal outdoor areas provide space to relax, enjoy the views and experience everyday life above the city.

Architecturally, Køhlers Have draws inspiration from the classic Copenhagen residential block, but with a contemporary appearance. The brick façades feature a vibrant interplay of shades, while the brick-red steel profiles bring the roof surfaces and upper storeys together into a calm, cohesive whole.

A modern take on the classic residential block

Nordic Klikfals 475 has been used on both the roof and façade, where the profile envelops the upper penthouse flats and reinforces the Copenhagen aesthetic. The brick-red colour complements the brickwork and gives the development a classic character with more contemporary detailing.

Søren Østergaard A/S was the contractor responsible for carrying out the project, in which the choice of materials and the residents’ everyday lives were considered in close conjunction.

A choice of material with countless possibilities

Køhlers Have demonstrates how steel profiles can be used flexibly in residential construction. Nordic Klikfals can be used on both roofs and façades and adapted to the project’s architecture with various cover widths, colours and the option of design grooves.

This gives architects and developers considerable freedom to create an appearance that suits both the building and its surroundings. At the same time, steel profiles are a financially attractive solution compared with several other cladding materials.
