A small bit of finished facade peeping out from the protective sheeting gives an idea of how the finished building will look. I think it looks great. I would not mind going to school there if I was a great many years younger.

A classic from the Politiken News paper, they just hate Ørestad :)

I must admit that I am not always the biggest fan of ørestad but is that interview a joke? What a moron.

^^
Yes it's a joke - a weekly column/ called the Devil's Advocate in which they they pick an "easy victim"/favorite aversion of theirs and and conduct an interview as rude, negative and provocative as they possibly can.

But most jokes have some substance to them and seriously, that book is such a corny idea. What the hell are they thinking?

I must admit that I am not always the biggest fan of ørestad but is that interview a joke? What a moron.
I guess you haven't read the column before. Well I chuckled..

I see. I wasn't aware of the idea with the column. Must admit I never read Politiken.

Here the other day, I saw some old renderings of the SECOND tower of Copenhagen Towers. I really don't hope this project has been forgotten, because it looked so stunning! Could some of you guys please enlighten me on, what the status regarding this project is?

Again, this - brilliant - plan should grab much more attention, especially on here, than it has. Also in the media. Basically it is a full-blown, head-on clash with some of the core, and very problematic, ideas of Ørestad.

dunno.... but it is SO ugly. anything will be better!

You are absolutely right. It's a very different urban plan for Ørestad Syd than we have seen before. However, I don't like (there is always something) the point house layout (punkthus). The new plan suffers from a lack of private outdoor space, that it shares with the rest of Ørestad.

I wonder why there is no private outdoor spaces? The private courtyards are very loved in the old Copenhagen. It seems like something the modern urbanite would want to have. On the other hand this new masterplan resembles a little urban village - so the urbanites might go crazy of joy anyway?

EDIT: I didn't see the small private gardens - I stand corrected! This plan is super duper!

dunno.... but it is SO ugly. anything will be better!I like it. Or more specific I like the size. It's a point de vue in that area.

I like it. Or more specific I like the size. It's a point de vue in that area.

I agree. It's may be ugly, but it contribute to the density of the area, to the "skyline" and it is typical for its time.

Otherwise you should also tear down Domus Vista, Domus Portus etc.
They are not pretty - but they are important parts of our skyline, and some of the few high rises we have.

Seriously? are we talking about the same building? it's the tall building in the background where (if you look closely at the picture) all the balconies are supported by "temporary" wooden beams.... it has been like that for years :nuts:

I know it's a matter of taste :-) but i really think it should go....

It is highrises like this that create more NIMBYs - and understandably so. It sounds like a decision has already been made to demolish it, but if not, at least it should get a makeover.

The highrise at Peder Lykkes Vej has been there for years, contributing to the urbanity of that area. If you tear it down, everything will look the same. That's why highrises are so important - they stand out. Of cause you could give it a makeover or replace it with something as tall or even taller, but if not - then let it be. That place is boring enough already!

Bilka i Field's bygger om

Den store Bilka-OneStop i indkøbscentret Field's i Ørestad er ulovlig og skal derfor bygges om. Steen & Strøm, der ejer centret er nu i gang med at udarbejde et konkret forslag til ombygningen, så de kan ansøge Københavns Kommune om en ny byggetilladelse.

Ombygningen er gjort nødvendig efter en opsigtsvækkende dom i Østre Landsret sidste år. Københavns Kommune holdt møde med Steen & Strøm i december. Et nyt møde er aftalt den 6. februar.

-Vi skal holde et nyt møde, hvor de har deres arkitekt med, og hvor vi skal aftale, hvornår de skal sende en ansøgning om en ny byggetilladelse, og hvad den skal indeholde, siger Karina Brix, fuldmægtig i Københavns Kommunes teknik- og miljøforvaltning.

The central element in the case was if a retail store could be a shopping mall in its own right. That is, Bilka together with some other shops was a shopping mall inside the Fields shopping mall. That interpretation is illegal and hence the shops have to be reduced in size.

According to this article the municipality of Copenhagen still have a few options on their table.

It's Københavns Kommune who made the mistake, they should offer some compensation.

Ørestad gør klar til en ny etape

Nyt kvarter. Med den kommende multihal som trækdyr tager By & Havn fat på en af de sidste større brikker: Arenakvarteret i Ørestad Syd med byggeri for fem mia. kr.

Udviklingsselskabet By & Havn og Københavns Kommune gør klar til at byudvikle endnu en stor bid af Ørestad i form af det kommende blandede Arena-kvarter i Ørestad Syd.

Kvarterets midtpunkt bliver '' Copenhagen Arena'', og dermed får hovedstaden endelig en multihal - efter at være blevet overhalet inden om af både skåningene med Malmö Arena og driftige uldjyder med Jyske Bank Boxen i Herning.

Et dugfrisk forslag til lokalplan lægger op til at bygge i alt 270.000 kvadratmeter eller rundt regnet for fem milliarder kroner ved en byggepris på små 20.000 kroner meteren.

Trods finanskrisen er en stor del allerede på plads, fordi Københavns Kommune og den stenrige Realdania-fond står bag arenaen. Den skal åbne i 2015, og kommunen vil også bygge skøjtehal, børneinstitution samt en helt ny folkeskole med idrætshal.


Kanaler og grønne kiler

Kvarteret skal desuden have erhverv med flere tusinde arbejdspladser og op imod 1.000 ret forskellige boliger. Planen lægger op til både rækkehuse, punkthuse og etageejendomme.

Samlet set bliver boligbyggeriet mindre massivt end andre steder i Ørestad, der har store boligblokke.

Arena-kvarteret får et grønt præg: Den omgivende Kalvebod Fælled forlænges ind i kvarteret som en byfælled, ligesom der bliver anlagt kanaler og små grønne kiler.

»Kvarteret bliver mere forskelligartet end andre dele af Ørestad med mindre enheder og uden karrébebyggelse. Infrastrukturen er på plads, og det bliver uden sidestykke en suveræn placering i Danmark, tæt på motorvej, togforbindelser og lufthavn,« siger Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, administrerende direktør i By & Havn.


Moderne miljø

Den tidligere overborgmester får langt hen ad vejen opbakning fra en erhvervsmægler.

»Det er et spændende byudviklingsområde, og kombinationen med lavt og højt byggeri, de forskellige strukturer og de små grønne smutveje kan være med til at skabe et miljø, som måske mangler nogle steder i Ørestad.

Virksomheder kan signalere noget nyt og moderne ved at slå sig ned her. Langsigtet vil det være en god investering, og lufthavnen ligger stadig tæt på,« siger Jørgen Jørgensen, administrerende direktør i EDC Poul Erik Bech Erhverv.


Hovedvej skal udbygges

Han hælder dog også lidt malurt i bægeret ved at pege på, at der efter hans opfattelse er for få parkeringspladser. Planerne for den Metro-dækkede Ørestad kræver nemlig kun en P-plads per 200 kvadratmeter bolig - groft sagt en halv bil per lejlighed eller mindre end mange andre steder.

»Det har altid været for lidt,« siger direktøren og gentager dermed en langvarig kritik fra en del investorer og mæglere.

Kramer Mikkelsen peger på, at Ørestad allerede har flere P-huse, og flere kommer til, også i Arena-kvarteret.

»Og hvis man vil have mere parkering, så skal man måske bosætte sig et andet sted end her, hvor der er god Metro-betjening.« Bilisterne får dog en lille sejr, for hovedfærdselsåren Ørestad Boulevard skal udvides i Ørestad Syd. Når bydelen bliver udviklet og får arena, er to spor nemlig ikke nok, så med tiden skal den gøres firsporet, varsler forslaget til lokalplan.

Mere Metro

Hele Ørestad Syd - den sydligste af de fire bydele i den fem kilometer lange Ørestad - skal fuldt udviklet have 10.000 indbyggere og omkring 15.000 arbejdspladser.

Der bor allerede omtrent 1.000 i bydelens allersydligste spids i blandt andre bebyggelserne 8tallet og Stævnen.

Arbejdspladser er også rykket ind, først og fremmest med ingeniørkoncernen Rambølls hovedkontor samt Metroens kontrolcenter og Crowne Plaza-hotellet, der dannede rammen om de langstrakte regeringsforhandlinger i efteråret.

Det ligger også i kortene, at Ørestad Syd kan få en ekstra Metro-station, nogenlunde midt imellem Ørestad Station og endestationen Vestamager. En kommende station kan blandt andet betjene arenaen, som får plads til 15.000 tilskuere og formentlig åbner i efteråret 2015.

Hele Ørestad skal efter planen være færdigbygget i 2030 og da have 20.000 indbyggere og 80.000 arbejdspladser.

Kort om Ørestad

Ørestad er cirka 5 km lang og 600 meter bred og har 6 Metro-stationer.

Efter planen har Ørestad i 2030 20.000 borgere og 80.000 arbejdspladser fordelt på 3,1 mio.

kvadratmeter bebyggelse.

Med en byggepris på 20.000 kr./ kvm svarer det til godt 60 mia. kr.

Den samlede bydel har 7.000 indbyggere og 10.000-12.000 arbejdspladser ( januar 2012).

Cirka halvdelen af jorden er enten bebygget eller solgt.

Ørestad består af fire dele: * Ørestad City med Bella Center og Field's - næsten fuldt udbygget.

* Ørestad Nord med DR Byen, Københavns Universitet og IT-universitet - næsten fuldt udbygget.

* Ørestad Syd med 8tallet, Rambøll og Crowne Plaza-hotel - udbygges med arena, skole og skøjtehal de kommende år.

* Amager Fælled med lav boligbebyggelse - stort areal vest for Metro udvikles som sidste fase af Ørestad.

Yeah!! looks very cool

^^

That is such a great project. I just checked it out at jjw.dk and found out that there is planned for a fitness centre for both the inhabitants and the public. There is also planned for a cafe, a dentist, foot care, and a hairdresser. All of this is situated at ground level and I heard before the construction started that these facilities would also be open to the public. Does anyone know if this is still the case? It would be a good contribution to the district and make totally sense that the public could get access to these facilities that has to be there for the inhabitants anyway. From an economical point of view it also makes sense.

I hope this will be the case instead of what has happened at the KLP houses in Ørestad City. These houses also have hairdressers and other services. But they are hidden inside the houses and are only available for the employees. Strange that they don't want to make money and contribute to the city life.

That's cool, i'll make an photo tour when the temperature gets above 5 degrees :-)

Vid första anblick är Örestad förvillande likt en postapokalyptisk zombieby under sovjetstyre.

Oh lord - Ørestad has sure been called many things, but this takes the cake! The rest of the article is, however, nothing like the above.

New parking in Ørestad Syd

Nyt parkeringshus på Robert Jacobsens Vej i Ørestad Syd
Byudviklingen er gået hurtigt i Ørestad Syd og efterspørgslen på boliger er stor. Derfor har Udviklingsselskabet By & Havn valgt at bygge områdets første parkeringshus. By & Havn etablerer, driver og vedligeholder parkeringsanlæg i Ørestad. Når Ørestad er fuldt udbygget vil 90 pct. af parkeringen foregå i parkeringshuse, som placeres så de bedst muligt dækker virksomhedernes, beboernes og gæsternes behov.

Det nye parkeringshus bliver på 8 etager, 25 meter højt og vil få plads til ca. 700 biler. Huset opføres i stål og beton med facadebeklædning af alu-plader med unikt mønster.

CG Jensen har i licitation vundet opgaven, som blev udbudt i totalentreprise. Projekteringen er sat i gang og vi forventer at gå i jorden april/maj 2012.

Vi ser frem til at sætte endnu et aftryk i Ørestaden med denne markante bygning.

You can see here on this photo across the "fælled" how the addition of the balconies on KAB´s elderly housing project, beside 8 tallet, improves the appearence of the building. It becomes almost sculpturtal.
Balconies will also be put up on the light green section.

Agree. They prove that it does not necessarily take much to improve the appearance of a building quite a lot.

Svend Aukens Plads is more of a space left over than an actual "plads" but it will look better when the first buildings on the Fast Batteri site are built.

But to make one thing clear: the ridiculous attempt to create city life by settling a couple of scattered shops at ground floor here and there don't work. Ørestad is a city designed for shoppingmalls, and the sooner we understand this, the better.

The wraps are coming off the new Ørestad school and library.
I was on a building site visit yesterdag and would like to shares a few pictures of this great buiding.

Well, with the prices they had it was clear (to me) that it wouldn't be the place you dropped by every second day. They did produce the BEST bread in the city if you ask me, but it was way too expensive..... like 145,- for a plain breakfast plate..... nothing fancy.... that will eventually scare the customers away i think.

nevertheless I think it is a big loss and I will miss their bread in the weekend :-(

Thanks Ngu, The school is so hot.:pepper:

Haha, that's pretty funny. Somy. Mikroxoft. Idobe.

This thing has placeholder written all over it! :)

This photo covers so many parts of the new Copenhagen that it´s hard to know which thread to use but I´ll settle for this one. Ørestad syd isn´t so far away.

Great photos. I am still kind of puzzled to see how much those balconies does to the buildings.

Grundsalget på vej ud af dødvande

Byggeretter i Ørestad, Nordhavnen og Sydhavnen vil blive solgt i løbet af 2012, vurderer By & Havns topchef
Af Peter B. Rasmussen, Cannes

BYUDVIKLING

Grundsalget i Københavns vigtigste udviklingsområder kommer i gang igen allerede i år. Salget har ligget stille under krisen, men nu tør By & Havns adm. direktør Jens Kramer Mikkelsen godt lægge sit hoved på blokken.

“Der bliver gennemført salgsaftaler i alle tre udviklingsområder i år. Det gælder Ørestad, Nordhavnen og Sydhavnen. Det tør jeg godt love på baggrund af forhandlinger, hvor vi allerede er så langt fremme, at de første aftaler vil blive offentliggjort i løbet af foråret,” siger han under et møde på den igangværende MIPIM-messe, der er verdens største ejendomsmesse.

Det lysner

Krisen har bremset udviklingen voldsomt, men nu er der ved at være lys for enden af tunnelen, bebuder Jens Kramer Mikkelsen. En godkendt lokalplan for Nordhavnen skubber med på denne udvikling, og allerede under den første messedag har der være henvendelser fra interesserede investorer, der ønsker at bygge boliger og erhvervsejendomme i København.

Det er ikke mindst markedsføringsorganisationen Copenhagen Capacity, der med den velbesøgte stand inde på messeområdet, står centralt i de mere end 500 danske deltageres bevidsthed. Samarbejdet med Malmø Stad har kørt upåklageligt i mange år. Ved siden af ligger Stockholms stand. Langt fra så velbesøgt, men med et provokerende slogan, der har sat sindene i bevægelse i mange år: Stockholm the capital of Scandinavia.

Det tager den nye direktør Claus Lønborg imidlertid ikke så tungt som flere af hans forgængere – bl.a. O. Rolf Larsen, der aldrig lagde skjul på sin irritation.

“De er jo nogle enormt frække banditter, men det er et meget godt slogan fra svenskernes synspunkt. Men Stockholm er jo ikke the capital of Scandinavia. Det er København,” vurderer Claus Lønborg smilende.

Skaber vækst

Copenhagen Capacitys mål er at fremme udviklingen i København via en stadigt bedre infrastruktur. Det skaber vækst. Samtidig arbejdes der med fremme bestemte erhvervsklynger for eksempel det store marked for bæredygtig løsninger, cleantech.

Aarhus har ikke det store apparat sat i sving for at profilere de mange store projekter, der allerede er i gang i den jyske hovedstad. Byen repræsenteres af en højeffektiv tremandsgruppe, der har mapperne fyldt med mødeaftaler fra tidlig morgen til sen aften.

Arealudviklingschef Bente Lykke Sørensen, stadsarkitekt Gøsta Knudsen og direktør Erik Jespersen fra Aarhus Kommune, Teknik & Miljø, er de tre blade i trekløveret.

Aarhus har ikke egen stand, men vil ikke afvise, at det på et tidspunkt kan komme på tale. En tilslutning til Øresundsstanden med Copenhagen Capacity og Malmø Stad anses dog ikke for realistisk.

“Vi gør det, der tjener vores interesser bedst. En profilering af de østjyske bånd mellem Randers over Aarhus til Kolding kunne også blive en mulighed,” siger Bente Lykke Sørensen.

Nyt projekt

Hun har under et møde på MIPIM-messen været med til at bane vej for PensionDanmarks overtagelse af det store havneprojekt Isbjerget på 22.000 kvm fra det nødlidende selskab Tækker Group.

I år er et stort boligprojekt ved at tage form i Aarhus. Projektet er kommet op at stå som konsekvens af et møde under MIPIM i 2011, oplyser Bente Lykke Sørensen.

Det er ikke fremskredent nok til at hun vil afsløre, hvilke parter, der er involveret endnu.

Kommissionen har modtaget to klager vedrørende finansieringen af den nye multiarena.
Malmö and Herning ??

Efter at have foretaget indledende undersøgelser af arenaprojektet er kommissionen i tvivl om, om der er behov for en ny multiarena med offentlig støtte - eller om behovet kan opfyldes af en privat aktør eller ved at bruge eksisterende faciliteter.

Well that doubt can easily be answered:

- No, a private player can not do it alone without support. Believe me many have tried to put up a project the last 20 years!!
- No, the existing facilities are not adequate! Try to take a look at Forum or KB Hallen. Try to go to a concert in Valby Hallen!!

Fields-ejer vil bygge nye kontorer i Ørestad

Et byggeprojekt til en markedsværdi på omkring 2 mia. kr. kan blive en realitet på blot 18 måneder i Ørestad
Af Peter B. Rasmussen

NYBYGGERI

To grundstykker i Ørestad, der næsten var gået i glemmebogen, kommer igen til ære og værdighed. Den store nordiske butikscenterejer og -operatør Steen & Strøm er klar til at puste liv i 88.000 etagemeter, der ligger umiddelbart i nærheden af områdets store indkøbscenter, Fields.

Der er tale om to grundstykker på henholdsvis 56.000 og 32.000 kvadratmeter. Området er udlagt til kontorer og detailhandel i mindre omfang. Trods Steen & Strøms fokus på butikscentre bliver områderne bebygget med kontorejendomme, der i nutidsværdier vil repræsentere værdier i størrelsesordenen 2 mia. kr.

Udspillet fra Steen & Strøm er afhængig af lejerinteressen, og der er således ikke tale om et spekulativt byggeri. Der skal være underskrevne lejekontrakter på plads, før spaden stikkes i jorden.

Det kan til gengæld ske meget hurtigt, da lokalplanen for området forlængst er på plads.

“Vi er allerede i konstruktiv dialog med flere lejere,” siger Mark P. Rendbæk, der er udviklingschef i Steen & Strøm.

Kan hurtigt stå klar

Spritnye kontorbygninger kan stå klar om 18 måneder, hvis en lejer melder sig i dag.

“Vi mener, at det er det rigtige tidspunkt at gå i markedet på. Ørestad er blevet mere accepteret i de senere år, og efterspørgselen går mere og mere i retning af nye, moderne kontorer med optimeret drift,” siger Ulrik Kenneth Larsen, der er adm. direktør i udviklingsselskabet Revco.

Revco er med som rådgiver for Steen & Strøm, og skal levere kontorkompetencerne i sagen. Steen & Strøm har det fulde ejerskab og har så stærke økonomiske muskler, at der ifølge Mark P. Rendbæk, ikke er problemer med finansieringen.

“Fields er lidt introvert (lukket, red.) nu, og det nye projekt kan være med til at åbne mere op for området. Vi tror på et udvidet handelsliv og vil nu realisere en gammel drøm om at få en stor biograf i Fields,” siger Mark P. Rendbæk.

Der vil blandt andet blive udviklet et handelsstrøg i feltet mellem Fields og de kommende kontorbygninger. Området er en del af den polsk-amerikanske arkitekt Daniel Liebeskinds masterplan, og den vil blive fulgt med tæt byggeri og byggeri i højden, som tilfældet er for mange af de øvrige byggerier i Ørestad City, der skal tegne en skarp københavnsk skyline mod sydøst.

Det nye område bliver et parkeringsmekka med 2800 parkeringspladser i alt. Metroen og den umiddelbare nærhed til Københavns Lufthavn er også faktorer, der er med til at skabe en god infrastruktur for de store virksomheder, som er målet for Steen & Strøm.

Målsætningen er at skabe faciliteter til virksomheder, der efterspørger 10.000 kvadratmeter eller mere. Kun omkring 200 danske virksomheder har dette behov, vurderer Ulrik Kenneth Larsen.

Større end de andre

Dermed differentierer projektet sig fra andre kontorprojekter i Ørestad. Eksempelvis Copenhagen Towers opererer med mindre kontorstørrelser, hvor mindre og mellemstore virksomheder får gavn af fællesfaciliteter i form af kantine, reception og opholdsområder.

Udspillet fra Steen & Strøm kommer samtidig med, at byudviklingsselskabet By & Havns adm. direktør, Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, under ejendomsbranchefagmessen Mipim i Cannes tidligere på måneden bebudede nye grundsalg i løbet af det kommende år i Ørestad, Nordhavnen og Sydhavnen.

^^ It's like an old long playing record. We have heard it before, and like to hear it again :rock:

They are going to have to make quite a few changes, if it is this area they plan to make into a lively shopping street. All the shops face inwards now and it is the store rooms which you can see here. The idea is good enough though.


http://i43.tinypic.com/15nai9u.jpg

PS Like your new logo Hafnia. Is it tyres, or the restaurant stars that are the attraction?

^^ Your photo shows it's absolutely possible to make a decent rambla here, and the idea that if you turn your face toward heaven, a tall one will stand right there as the Ferring building.

Ps: Regarding the Michelin logo, I'm more for food than cars.

^^ It may be possible, but they sure have to make quite som changes to Fields, to open it up against it's surroundings. Would be awesome and have a very positive effect to Ørestad City, if they actually decide to do so. If they could then also open it up to Ørestads Boulevard... But that is probably asking too much.

^^ Wasn't there some talk about doing exactly that?

^^

Maybe, I don't remember. But I think we discussed it in here before.

Anyways, I was out there yesterday, so here is a snapshot from Ørestad syd:

Ny skøjtehal sprænger budget

FINANSIERING. Den nye skøjtehal i Ørestad er blevet noget dyrere end først antaget. Prisen er steget fra 75 til 105 millioner kroner.

ØRESTAD: Da Københavns kommune besluttede at bygge en ny skøjtehal i stedet for den gamle i Ryparken, afsatte man 75 millioner kroner til projektet.

Siden er man blevet enige om at flytte hallen til Ørestad ved siden af den kommende arena i Ørestad Syd. Og det sender regningen op på i alt 105 millioner kroner, hvoraf de 10 allerede er brugt på projektering.

Hallen bliver dyrere, fordi man flytter den til Arenakvarteret, hvor lokalplanen har til formål at få skøjtehallen tilpasset en central placering i et byrum med boliger, Byfælleden, erhverv og arenaen som nærmeste nabo. Hallens arkitektoniske udformning og indretning med for eksempel mere åbne og aktive stueetager. Hertil kommer udviklingen i byggepriser siden den oprindelige plan, skærpede energikrav til nybyggeri i byudviklingsområder, som er indbygget i kommuneplanen og endelig flere udgifter til rådgivning, fordi projektet er blevet udsat.

Da sagen var oppe i kulturog fritidsudvalget i fredags var det med en anbefaling om, at man fandt de 10,2 millioner på udvalgets budget for i år og andre 10,5 millioner på besparelser i driften, fordi hallen ikke kommer i brug før 2013.

Der mangler således 19,5 millioner, før det nye bud på en moderne københavnsk skøjtehal kan føres ud i livet. Kulturog fritidsudvalget anbefalede, at pengene skulle indgå i forhandlingerne om kommunens overskud i budgettet fra 2011, den såkaldte overførselssag.

Men her blev der ikke fundet penge til skøjtehallen, så nu skal projektet enten trimmes, eller pengene skal findes i forhandlingerne om budget 2013.

Funktionelt, indholdsmæssigt og konstruktionsmæssigt tages der udgangspunkt i hallen fra Ryparken, men med en ny facadeløsning, hvor der åbnes mod de nye omgivelser.

Der arbejdes nu med belysning af facader og kantzoner med inspiration fra nordlysets omskiftelige virkning.

Lokalplanen for Arenakvarteret er i offentlig høring og forventes at blive vedtaget af Borgerrepræsentationen til august. Den nye skøjtehal i Ørestad kan stå klar til skøjtesæsonen 2014-2015.

Three teams qualified for the Copenhagen Arena, I would prefer Forster & Partners. http://www.realdania.dk/Presse/Nyheder/2012/CPHX-design280312.aspx

^^ Yep, that would be interesting!

8 Tallet also makes good night pictures:
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/vester_DK/DKPhotos/Cph/DSC20520.jpg

^^

It sure does - great shot. In generel I am not a big fan of such massive buildings, and I have been very sceptical about 8-tallet, but with the buildings popping up around it, I am getting slightly more optimistic. Visually it actually kind of opens up to it surroundings. I am looking forward to see how it will work, when the area develops futher.

Regarding the Copenhagen Arena plans, I like to read this:

Hallens arkitektoniske udformning og indretning med for eksempel mere åbne og aktive stueetager.

I hope they will not change that.

Field’s vil bygge biograf næste år
Skrevet af Redaktionen Lørdag, 30. april 2011 00:38

Field’s har fået tilladelse til at udvide med en biograf og tre nye butikker

http://i44.tinypic.com/123r63a.jpg

• Ejeren af Field’s, Steen & Strøm A/S, arbejder intenst på et biografprojekt i Field’s, som hvis alt går vel kan åbne ultimo 2013. Biografen skal bygges ved hovedindgangen ud til Ørestad Station og have indgang fra Plan 2.

I maj måned ventes Borgerrepræsentationen at godkende et tillæg til kommuneplanen, som giver Field’s lov til at udvide med en biograf og tre nye udsalgsvarebutikker på op til 5000 kvadratmeter hver.

”Vi arbejder intenst med biografprojektet, og håber at kunne gå igang med byggeriet i 2012. Men først skal vi have lavet en detaljeret byggeansøgning, og det samarbejder vi tæt med Københavns Kommune om”, siger centermanager Lotte E. Andersen fra Steen & Strøm.

Hun oplyser, at biografen bliver en stor premierebiograf med flere sale og moderne biografteknik.

Tilladelsen til at bygge tre store butikker er Steen & Strøm desuden parate til at bygge butikkerne og danne et åbent strøg på sydsiden af Field’s. Udvidelsen skal hænge sammen med udbygningen af Ørestad Downtown vest for Field’s. Men allerede nu er der interesserede lejere.

”Vi har interesserede butikslejere, både eksisterende lejere i Field’s og andre butikker udefra. Derfor forventer vi at søge om byggetilladelse til én af disse butikker inden jul.” siger Lotte E. Andersen.

Steen & Strøm has chosen C.F Møller as architect on the Fields extension.

http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-2532-w799-h444.jpg

http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-2531-w800-h400.jpg

The project is 88.000 sqm and the highrise is 23 storey high. Underneath there will be a parking basement with a capacity of 3000 cars.

I think it looks very cool :)

It does look pretty nice. Do they have a tenant for the highrise yet?

Interesting post silkebaronen, do you when C.F.Møller was choosen for the part 2 extension? Because it looks different that the original C.F.Møller proposal!?

I only know what I read at C.F. Møllers webpage. http://www.cfmoller.com/n/Nyt-kontordomicil-til-Oerestaden-i13056.html
Perhaps more info is coming soon.

I like the idea of building a white twin to the Ferring Tower

Very nice! About time something happens to the southern part of the shopping center.

It surprises me that there isn't a collossal wall of buildings towards the railroad to the south to shield for the strong winds in the area. The winding paths between the buildings should help, though.

I'm very interested in if and how they are going to open up the existing Fields. It does not appear to be part of the renderings, am I right?

Steen & Strøm has chosen C.F Møller as architect on the Fields extension.

http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-2530-w800-h447.jpg

Wow, love the CF Møller proposal, looks very classy and yet modern and innovative with the differing angles, green roofs and glass parts of the facade. Its really gonna add something to that otherwise super bleak part of Ørestaden.

On another note I thinks its pretty crazy that this project finally appears to be coming true. I believe it was first proposed, and expected to be starting up, right about the time that I became interest in highrise architecture and a member of this board and that is quite some years ago now!

EDIT: Damn, almost ten years it appears!

Nice. A strong indication that the Liebeskind-plan continues as the masterplan for the area:

http://www.ncc.dk/Global/Commercial_space/Kontor/odt/odt_pix-03.jpg

http://i55.tinypic.com/334p5b7.jpg

No doubt it is a great improvement. Does the rendering below show, how the facade to Ørestads Boulevard will look like?

http://i44.tinypic.com/123r63a.jpg

If so, then it is absolutely awesome and will make such a great difference for Ørestad! Especially if they also somehow manage to change the facade on the existing building.

It's very important, it will open Field's up (unfortunately only on the south and west side - but an improvement).

It will also give a much more dense feeling on Ørestad Station. Because when you leave the metro train today, the first thing you meet is the strong wind from south-west (the wind direction 70% of the time in Denmark). Field's part 2 will stop wind from blowing people away from the station.

These new renderings show where a new footbridge across the tracks and motorway, with access to the platforms of Ørestad station, should be placed.
The present station access is much to narrow for the expected crowds from the new arena as well as from the new development beside Fields.

http://i43.tinypic.com/23t58jd.jpg

I found this photo on JJW's website. This building just makes me happy everytime I look at it :)

http://www.jjw.dk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/%C3%98restad-Syd-230312-320x320.jpg

Soon to be opened is the new Ørestad school.
Note the entrance to the school is on the 2nd floor after going up the long flight of stairs past the ground floor library.

http://i43.tinypic.com/slgpd1.jpg

Here are the stairs and work on reestablishing the canal which has been temporarily covered over for use as a building site.

http://i40.tinypic.com/vg7cw.jpg

The "Irma" building on Arne Jacobsens Boulevard is almost at full height now.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2m6wc42.jpg

The same building seen from the courtyard and the recently opened P house on the right. Not much space for a supermarket, even a small one.

http://i41.tinypic.com/t9b9kl.jpg

^^
Looks great:)

^^

Not sure what to think about the school (except it's good to have one there), but the "Irma-building" may turn out well.

And thanks for the update, NGU. Nice angles you've caught.

I think the school looks a bit monotonous, doesn't it? Anyway, thanks for the update :okay:

The school looks awful at a distance. Perhaps better up close when you're standing there?

I went by the school today. It looks better IRL, but I'm not super impressed. I don't get the tinted windows, and the facade is a bit to monotonous. The color isn't too great either, but I guess it works OK with KLP across the street. Maybe some "begrønning" could soften it up a bit.

Søringen, do you got some information about that project? Did know it would pass by Islands Brygge.

Hi all,

Very interesting threads you've got going!

What do you guys think of the new developments in Ørestad Syd: Stævnen II, the student residences and the senior homes?

It is interesting to follow a building like Stævnen II: at first it was supposed to look like the good-looking bright white Stævnen I, then the rendering below appeared with green colors and a slight off-white color of the facade. The final building turns out to be constructed in off-white concrete that has somehow already managed to turn a sour yellow with big grey stains. How can architects and developers live with themselves?

http://www.lejerbo.dk/~/media/Images/Nyheder/899-0_1.ashx?w=400&h=390&as=1

http://www.ema.dk/typo3temp/GB/6f53994e7b.png

The black student residence started out as white as can be seen in the rendering above.

Somehow I suppose building management ordered the wrong color of concrete and now a grayish black building has risen. It's not the high quality architecture I thought was the vision for Ørestad...

At least the senior homes others have posted photos of are turning out interesting. Not high class but it has an element of happiness to it.

I'm disappointed with the other developers though - financial crisis or not :(

^^ Welcome to SSC, Thomas. I totally agree with you on the student residence, what a complete failure! The overall design of the senior homes are pretty good, but unfortunately it's sloppy executed IMHO. It seems as if most construction workers aren't putting any pride into their work these days...

Nice box! Imagine row after row of this stuff. It will fit in well with all the other boxes in the area and generally add no imagination to an otherwise boring part of town.

One of the things that detracts from the boredom are trees! So it's really sad they have to go, since they take years to grow, but I guess that they are not profitable so gone the must become!

However, something that might would add a little urban life to the area, would be commerical spaces. Alas they thend to eat away a developers profit. I would not be surprised if there was no commercial spaces in this project, so this could might well be yet another development promoting the suburbian philosophy of a quiet nabourhood in the city, while still maximizing the developers return on investment.

There seem to be a trend, that could be called "the demise of the architect", just to be dramatic. The concern about costs and return on investment have made an otherwise creative line of work, into something as exiting as accounting or bookkeeping. Since architects are so much in love with boxes, I suppose we might as well declare architects obsolete and replace them with engineers. :)

^^ I agree with you, and have wroted this before: This place is right on the edge to the city, and has a lack of urban character considering it's 1,5 km from the city hall. It could have been done more ambitious.
On the other hand, the city is full of populair neighbourhoods that can be compared with this type of project, like e.g. Kartoffelrækkerne, Humlebyen, Nyboder and so on. This comparison is also the intention from the planners, since they called it Radiorækkerne. Let's see how it turn out..

I went there yesterday. You can walk all the way to the top - the outdoor area is not locked off in any way. If any of you come by you should do yourself a favor and take the tour.... that school is IMO amazing!!
I SO wnt to be 6 years again and start there!

According to By&Havn Nordea has decided to move 1800-2200 employees to a new headquartes at the Rigsarkiv-site in Ørestad Nord. They expect to move in in 2016.

^^ Interesting news. Does anybody know, where the masterplan for the area can be seen?

^^

A really nice project. It will be a great day, when Ørestad Nord is completely done

There are a few other renders at Business' website

Wow, that was a quick reply, thanks :)

It looks good. I really would hope for some outgoing actitivites in the some of the bottom floors. I know it won't be like central Copenhagen, but just a hint of an urban feeling would be nice.

Thanks for quick follow-ups. I am happy to see from this rendering that there are still plans for building something on the big DR-parking lot. It is such a waste of space the way it is now.

Look good, glad to see this area finally being put to some good use.
However, I find it somewhat bizarre that they haven't decided if they are to move the entire HQ to Amager or not. There does not seem to be any room for future expansions in the proposed project. Or to put it another way, WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING IS THE SKYSCRAPER WE WERE ALL HOPING FOR!?

Edit: Okay, apparently there is room to build another 30,000 sqm, but where? Perhaps that is the DR parking lot then, but that not skyscraper either.

@Kaneda.
As far as I read the announcement, Nordea only plans to build the first two buildings on the south west corner as part1 of the project with an option to build the two buildings to the south east (part2). Hence all the buildings you see on the rendering to the north towards DR Byen isn't planned yet. Maybe this part isn't even part of the Nordea project and more just a rendering of the full Juul | Frosts masterplan for the site?

Hence there should be plenty of more building space if Nordea wants to use it

Great news!

That was the last major empty plot in Ørestaden. Interesting to think that in five years or so it will all be done according to plan. Of course there's Battery Grunden nearby...

Agree with you on that one, although they have attest renovated the facades over the past couple of years. I work in one of the black ATP/Henning Larsen buildings on Christianshavns harborfront, which Nordea is occupying most of at the movement, and I'm sure glad I'm not the one who has to exchange my wonderful view over Slotsholmen, the inner harbor and the city skyline with a view of Urbanplanen.

I completely agree Nicolajb, not about I want to be 6 years old again, but that the school is fantastic, it reminds me a bit of the 8 Tallet the way you climb around there in different levels. I'm crazy about the cladding with small red/yellow bricks, it looks great. It isn't totally completed, and they try to make the school cosy with plants and flowers, so I look forward to return when it's all done.
Nevertheless, the temptation were to much so I went there today. Unfortunately the light wasn't the best, but what the heck.. I wish to share that nice experience with you all. All though I didn't went inside the building, but here they come from the exteriour in a disorder set up - hope you're able to see them !

Superb pics, Hafnia, Thanks!

I must say i didnt like the building at first, but i'm really starting to now. And loads of greenery growing up and down from the terraces would be just perfect.

What sticks to my eye is the staircase on the 2nd picture, why does it have some fugly cladding on?? Looks completely out of place.

ordea: Vi skal have verdens bedste trading floor

And from Finanswatch

Flytningen til et nybygget domicil i Ørestad skal give Nordea verdens bedste trading-floor. Desuden er det umuligt at løse problemerne med indeklimaet i den gamle bygning i Torvegade.

Ørkenfortet i Torvegade er blevet for gammelt, og der er grænser for hvor længe man kan bede medarbejderne bære over med at de må sidde i enten stegende hede eller tænderklaprende træk.

Det fortæller Ove Hygum, der har ansvaret for Nordeas hovedkontorer og filialer i de 22 lande hvor banken er repræsenteret.

"Vi har nogle meget konkrete arbejdsmiljøproblemer, som vi har prøvet at løse gennem flere år. Det drejer sig primært om temperaturstyring. Det et meget teknologisk højintensivt område, som er meget svært at løse i Ørkenfortet. Der er konstant problemer med temperaturen og træk uanset hvilken årstid, det er. Det er meget træls, og vi kan ikke blive ved med at appellere til medarbejdernes tålmodighed, når vi ikke kan løse problemet," siger han til FinansWatch.

Flytningen til det nye domicil i Ørestaden tæt på DR Byen er derfor en helt ny mulighed for at skabe de mest optimale forhold for koncernens trading floor, og derfor er ambitionen også at få skabt et helt enestående arbejdsmiljø for de mange handlere.

Samtidig vil flytningen ifølge Ove Hygum skabe markante besparelser for Nordea. Han ønsker dog ikke at fortælle om omfanget af besparelserne.


Billedserie: Her er Nordeas nye bygninger


Mere dynamik

"Vores trading-floor er den største enkeltenhed i Torvegadebygningen. Nu vil vi bygge et trading floor, og så vil vi bygge en bank udenom. Normalt har man en bygning, hvor man så placerer sit trading floor inden i, og det er sjældent en stor succes, for der er helt særlige krav til sådant et set up. Nu har vi så en mulighed for at få verdens bedste trading floor," siger Ove Hygum.

Han fortæller at den nye bygning også skal gøre arbejdsmiljøet mere dynamisk, så man undgår bureaukratiet med hele tiden at skulle booke mødelokaler.

"Det er spørgsmål om at have mere fleksible lokaleløsninger, så medarbejderne hurtigere er i stand til at gå fra projekt til projekt og sidde tæt på de kolleger, som de skal arbejde sammen med. Hvis man har faste lokaler, så har man en masse bureaukrati med at reservere mødelokaler, men det nye skulle gerne give en mere dynamisk organisation," siger Ove Hygum.

Flytningen kom på tale, da man skulle genforhandle lejekontrakten for bygningen i Torvegade med ATP Ejendomme, som ejer domicilet. Efter et udbud, hvor tre arkitektfirmaer gav deres bud på hvordan det nye hovedkvarter skulle se ud, vandt Henning Larsens tegnestue tjansen.

Planen er, at 40.000 m2 med plads til mellem 1800 og 2200 medarbejdere skal stå klar i 2016. Det svarer til at ca. halvdelen af Nordeas medarbejdere i hovedstadsområdet skal flytte ud i Ørestaden.

Great pictures Hafnia!

It looks much better up close. You just know they didn't have a lot of money but they made the detailing good anyhow. It makes you want to take in all the details, and carefully study it.

Nope only this: "Hotelkæde i nye klæder

af Erik Svarre

Børsen
30.04.2012
Side 23 | 301 ord
Artikel-id: e336aa9e
PDF Link til artikel




Hvis konceptet bag Cabinn-hotelkæden er minimalistisk med mindre, billige værelser, så er planerne for udvikling af kæden rigtig store - og utraditionelle.

Indretning og det visuelle udtryk for et hotel er selvfølgelig vigtige elementer for at tiltrække kunder. Men hos Cabinn bliver der taget et nyt utraditionelt skridt på den front.

Hotelkæden skal i bogstaveligste forstand have nye klæder. I hvert fald henter en stor planlagt omorganisering og udvidelse af kæden inspiration fra modens verden.


Visuelle initiativer

Hovedpersonen i denne proces er en ny general manager, der - ikke så forunderligt - kommer med stor erfaring fra modeverdenen. Det er Henriette Lomonidis, hvis første opgave bliver at sætte skub i nye visuelle initiativer inden for hotelkæden.

Dermed skal hun sætte mere end 10 års professionel erfaring fra et større modefirma i spil på hotelfronten.

”I modebranchen går tingene stærkt, og man skal hele tiden være klar til at reagere på kundens behov,” lyder det fra den nye general manager, der vil tage noget af denne dynamik fra modens verden over i hotelbranchen.

Dermed regner hun med endnu bedre at kunne tilpasse hotellerne til gæsternes ønsker og give dem bedre oplevelser under hotelopholdene.

Direktør i Cabinn, Niels Fennet, har store forventninger til den nye general managers modebevidste tilgang til hotelverdenen.


Får nok at se til

”Vi lever af at tænke nyt og kreativt. Og her kan Henriette Lomonidis med sin mangeårige erfaring fra modebranchen give os et helt enestående input, som kan styrke vores image,” påpeger han.

Den nye general manager får nok at se til i sin modebevidste tilgang til hotelindretning, da Cabinn udover den visuelle forandringsproces har store fysiske udviklingsprojekter i støbeskeen.

I Aarhus har C. F. Møller arkitekterne tegnet en udvidelse af det velbesøgte Cabinn, lige i hjertet af byen. Samtidig står Danmarks største lavprishotel Cabinn Metro med 700 værelser i København foran en udvidelse. "

The extension could come in both directions (south or east)according to the Liebeskind Plan. But it looks rather ambitious: http://www.erhvervsejendom.dk/da/artikel/hotel-cabinn-i-restad-har-udvidelsesplaner-9684

Note that the Fields 2 extension is still a part of the general Libeskind plan, with buildings in different directions

I'd imagine Cab Inn would be doing quite well if they're planning for an expansion, no?

How is the market/plans looking for premium (5 star) hotels in CPH at the moment? Any developments? I feel like the Öresund Region needs to improve in this sector. Malmö recently (like 2 years ago) got its first 5 star hotel (by international standards), and there are no other planned at the moment to my knowledge.

And this one from five days ago saying almost the same:
http://www.standby.dk/news/28020

274 new rooms for longer stays called Cabinn Village, office hotel with 200 work stations, parking facilities for 200 cars and a 1200 m2 tv-studio. All in all 10.000 new m2.

New renderings for the orestad downtow site on which the Cabinn is situated are availbable:

What happened to the two Libeskind designed high-rises?

Damn... not good!

What happened to the two Libeskind designed high-rises?

They have disappeared on the NCC homepage. (orestaddowntown.dk)
Wondering the same. Hope they still are on the table.

Det er simpelthen løgn hvis de små grimme NCC klodser skal overtage Liebeskind masterplanen. Total skandale som da Egeraats fantastiske huse på Krøjers plads, blev til nogle relativt fantasi forladte NCC bygninger.
Sorry about my english !:bash:

- But, to be honest, not too surprised here

Sådan en gang dej. De fik endda ændret lokalplanen for Liebskinds skyld, ja selv Fields blev underkastet den. Det mest mærkelige er den høje mærkelige kasse, der ses i tværsnit. Det er bare for dårligt NCC.

Wonder if Liebeskind approved the alterations? The new renderings looks like a completely different plan - there is basically nothing of Liebeskind's original plan left.

Regarding the new school. Heard a rumor that the kids will not be allowed to use the elevator! All those stairs will be good exercise :)

Article from KBH on the school in Ørestad

http://magasinetkbh.dk/indhold/%C3%B8restad-skole

http://i47.tinypic.com/2ym6a8m.jpg

^^ As the article mention, it's very charming that there's open access to the school, and let's hope it will remain like this. But also the around 700 pupils and teachers arriving and leaving to the school, will increase activity, and bring in some life in the neighbourhood.

A bicycle trip around Ørestad on a beautiful day led to this little update.

The elderly peoples home by Ørestad station. Best in sunny weather.
I have been trying to work out if all the balcony boxes are the same shape and just rotated??

The "Irma" building now up in full height and of course Cabinn, soon to be expanded, in the foreground.

http://i46.tinypic.com/317a2xk.jpg

According to this newsletter from By&Havn 90% of the 10.000 m2 of commercial premises in 8tallet have been rented out to 17 different companies.

http://www.byoghavn.dk/da-DK/Presse/Nyheder/2012/nyhed.aspx?newsid=BDDB9083B7F94CB0A2435DDFC13986F0

I think the other developers like eg KLP and NCC should take a look at how it has been done in 8tallet. It is actually poosible to have commercial succes without building a closed box with a canteen for the employees and no interaction with the surroundings. In 8tallet there is no canteen for the employees. Instead they have to bring their own food or buy some at the local "Kervan" or cafe 8tallet. This means that these two places have customers during the whole day.

Humoristic and happy architecture in the first 2 blochs, and then looks what happen in the third building: no joy, no colors, like a vulcanic stone. Then the paradox; In spite the diversed expression, it's actually works together..Hmmm, architecture is a funny size.

Excellent shots!

^^Great shots, as always.

On the school I must say that I am utterly disappointed. What happened to that (http://www.cphx.dk/index.php?id=224975#/224975/) exciting facade with a lot play? Seems as if KHR themselves are trying to hide the traces and the original renderings on their site. It looks as if it went through a severe rationalization phase, completely losing its original qualities. Now, trying to save some of that with the blue'ish windows and create a contrast to that completely dead, pre-fabricated brick-facade; not turning out well.

thanks all :cheers:

Aim1 - you are really good at this!! I'm almost sure I saw one of your many pictures exhibited as a large print on a canvas, in a gallery at Vesterbro near Rytmisk Center. It would fit well at home on my wall :)

Regarding the School - Fab5, are there any renders of the original proposal? It could be cool to see the differences to what actually got build.

Personally I find the building ok. It's even a bit interesting with all the stairs. But if I were a kid again, I might get a bit tired of all those stairs and I would also like to play with a ball from time to time. So imagine shooting a football out over the railing, who would it hit? And would I be able to find it again before class?

Last, but not least - kids can be stupid at times. Sure some of them would like to climb the railings just for fun. Maybe barb wire has to be added just to prevent a predictable accident, with the added bonus, that some of the kids will feel at home, when they later in life go to prison :)

Når jeg tænker tilbage på min egen skolegang i en etplansskole i forstaden, husker jeg ingen rare rum. Det mest dominerende indtryk var de lange gange uden dagslys og nålefilttæpperne, som gav et skrækkeligt tørt indeklima. Og så de farlige zoner ved vindfangene og cykelstativerne, hvor de store rødder holdt til.

Gårdrummene var hovedsagelig store og uoverskuelige. Tryghed var der aldrig rigtig tale om, men et fravær af frygt oplevede jeg da, når en af de gode lærere trådte ind i klassen. Så blev der ligesom ro på, og den her mærkelige sociale konstruktion, hvor man skal forholde sig til tusind andre unger, der ikke alle har fået omgængelighed og venlighed med på madpakken, fandt et mere meningsfuldt leje.

To nye københavnske skolebygninger er anledning til, at min egen skoletid lyser op i kraniekassen. For hvor er der sket meget positivt med hensyn til at skabe rum, der tager hensyn til elevernes oplevelsesverden. Det tænker jeg i hvert fald, når jeg ser Ørestad Skoles rige, nichefulde rumligheder.

Her ligger klasseværelserne ikke side om side på en lige gang, men er forskudt i et zigzagmønster. Når man drejer omkring hjørnet fra hovedtrappen, kan man se dørene ind til alle klasseværelserne.

Der er store glaspartier ind til rummene, så dagslyset strømmer lige igennem til det brede indre fællesrum.

Det er blot afgrænset af indbyggede skabe og glas, så lyset får lov at strømme frit ind gennem bygningen. Rummet løber som en diagonal gennem bygningen. Et overskueligt rum med masser af lys og mange kroge. Selvfølgelig kan der stå et monster klar bag hvert eneste hjørne, men det her ligner opskriften på en tryg og rumligt fabulerende skolebygning. Her kan man skyde dørene ind til undervisningsrummene til side og lukke det endnu mere op, og man kan undervise og opholde sig i de mange kroge med varierede loftshøjder, der er spredt omkring på etagerne.

HVIS JEG EN DAG vågner op og er syv år igen, har jeg ikke noget imod at starte forfra på denne gode skole, som tegnestuen KHR har tegnet. Den ligger lige midt i den nye bydel Ørestad, der er lettere berygtet for sin mangel på byliv. Men man må give bydelen, at den har formået at appellere til arkitekternes opfindsomhed.

For der er ikke noget sted i Danmark, hvor man finder så mange interessante nye bygninger samlet på ét sted: Lundgaard og Tranbergs indtagende runde Tietgenkollegium, BIG's etagebolig 8Tallet, der trækker gaderummet op i et loop omkring tiende sal, det indre åbne, flydende rum i 3XN's Ørestad Gymnasium og den varme koncertsal i Jean Nouvels æteriske koncerthus. Det er arkitektur, der er udviklet gennem nøje overvejelser over stedets muligheder, og som har ledt til ofte overraskende organisering af bygningernes funktioner.

Nu kan man føje Ørestad Skole til denne række af Ørestads bedste arkitektur.

Bygningen ligger på en ret smal og aflang grund ud til Ørestads flotteste gade, den centrale Arne Jacobsens Allé, der som den eneste i bydelen byder på et bugtende, varieret forløb. Desværre er alleens attraktionskraft hårdt udfordret af storcenteret Field's' fjendsk forseglede facade. Skolen ligger skråt over for den bag metroens højbane og omgivet af to kanaler. Men den viser storcentret, hvordan man generøst kan og bør åbne sit hjørne ud mod et centralt gadekryds.

Her er en to etager høj glasvæg, der leder ind til et folkebibliotek, der åbner 7. juni. Det er helt rigtig tænkt at lægge udadvendte funktioner i stuen, placere offentlige funktioner i centrum og at lægge skolen ved siden af gymnasiet. De to bygninger deler nu parkeringshus og dets tagterrasse er blevet et fælles skoletorv i anden sals højde.

SELVE SKOLEDELEN af bygningen begynder nemlig først heroppe og rager ud over biblioteket og en lang trappe, der rejser sig som en massiv murstenskile, der synes at være skudt ind under bygningen. Trappen fører fra kanalen forbi hovedindgangen og videre op til skolens udendørs terrasser, der hænger på husets østlige bagside som soldæk på et krydstogtskib. Man kan spørge sig, hvorfor børnene skal stables helt op til ottende sals højde, men det er nu engang ideen med denne bydel: Husene skal være høje som kontrast til Amager Fælleds omgivende natur.

Sådan er betingelserne, men KHR har gjort en dyd ud af dem og skabt en skole, det er behageligt at bevæge sig igennem.

Etagerne tilpasser sig parvis en teamopdelt skolestruktur med tre niveauer, indskoling, mellemtrin og udskoling.

Skalaen er lille og rar, men overalt er udsigten fra bygningens karnapfacade storslået. Rumlighederne er fleksible, så lokaler kan åbnes, og man kan nemt inddrage etagernes fællesrum.

Det er en fænomenologisk betonet arkitektur, der tager udgangspunkt i kroppens målestok og i den måde, vi føler os trygge i og motiverede af rumlige forløb på. Det er husets største styrke som skole: Det føles, som om det er tegnet indefra og ud med stor fornemmelse for opgaven. Det er hverken et enkelt smart greb eller koncept, der har formet huset. Hvert klasselokales karnap er med til at gøre facaden karakterfuld og egensindig, men ikke påfaldende i bybilledet.

De mange karnapper giver facaden et rigt relief og er med til at sænke suget ned gennem gaden. Børnene elsker tilsyneladende at stå i vinduerne, kigge ud og vinke til forbipasserende. Spillet mellem glas og murværk er et helt kapitel for sig selv. Det forskudte mønster bølger hen ad facaden, og det er ikke til at afgøre, om det er glasset, der bærer murværket eller omvendt. Med til at skabe denne effekt er, at de mange hjørnevinduer er sprosseløse. Alt efter hvor man ser bygningen fra, vil den fremstå massiv eller åben.

Med en gul mursten afstemmer den sig desværre farvemæssigt med kvarterets sandstensfarver og Field's' grågule eternitplader uden at løfte det. Murstenene har dog fået vendt deres ru bagside udad, så de får en rigere stoflighed, og snart vil de nok fremstå kønnere. Lige så triste gule mursten kan være som nye, lige så fint kan de patinere med årene.

Der har altid været noget ferskt over KHR's byggerier, tænk bare på metroen eller det nye Københavns Universitet på Amager. På deres hjemmeside kan man selv vælge, om man vil se deres arkitektur i sort-hvid eller i farve.

Forskellen er den samme. På Ørestad Skole er der således en fint markeret dynamik mellem sorte gulvflader og hvide lofter, men farveløsheden brydes af et helt nødvendigt krydderi af runde gule og røde lamper, som KHR har tegnet og spredt ud fint over loftsfladen med jævn hånd.

FARVER SKORTER det til gengæld ikke på i Nørrebro Park Skole. Her er farver på vinduerne, på gulve, møbler og trappeopgange.

Den er helt suverænt farvesat i en oplevelsesrig totaludsmykning af billedkunstneren Malene Bach. Det kan sagtens være et referenceværk for inddragelse af billedkunst i skoler og offentlig byggeri generelt. Spraglet linoleum, trælister og vægflader indgår i et enormt maleri af kulørte firkanter.

Ideen med en balance af forskudte felter går således igen i både nybyggeriet og udsmykningen, der samler hele skolekomplekset.

Nørrebro Park Skole ligger som navnet antyder ud til Nørrebroparken og består af tre fløje omkring et fælles gårdrum.

Fløjene fra 1888, 1977 og nybygningen er i vidt forskellige stilarter.

Men de har alle tre tegl som fællesnævner, nybygningen i en endog særdeles appetitvækkende kvalitetssten fra Petersen Tegl. Det er en mørk sten, der sammen med røde og grønne filtre på vinduerne får bygningen til at ligne en slægtning til skuespilhuset. Den fremstår virkelig indbydende med sine Louis Kahn-inspirerede kantede facade, der har en fast rytme af fire kubiske klodser.

I denne ret dybe bygning gør farvefiltre på vinduerne dog de nederste etager temmelig mørke. Tredje og øverste etage har runde ovenlys, og her er der rarere lysforhold. Man bør ikke være afhængig af kunstlys på en højlys dag som den, jeg besøgte skolen på. Den er ellers rumligt forløst efter nogle af de samme tanker som Ørestad Skole med diagonalt forskudte undervisningslokaler ud til store fællesrum. Men et centralt elevatortårn hindrer overskueligheden, og det forekommer mig, at en del af fællesrummet går til spilde i fordelingsarealer.

Det, som Louis Kahn kaldte de tjenende rum - trapper og gangarealer - dominerer de betjente.

DENGANG JEG gik i skole, var ideen, at vi alle var ens. Og hvis vi ikke var det, hjalp skolearkitekturen os til at blive det. I dag understøtter arkitekturen elevernes indbyrdes variationer.

Ikke for at de skal blive ens, men for at de alle kan få noget ud af deres skolegang.

Måske fokusset også gør dem mere tolerante over for hinandens forskelligheder. Det var vi nemlig ikke så gode til dengang.

Arkitektgruppen has put 53 flats for sale on the former "lake-city"-site in Ørestad Syd.

Here's what I could find on LivingHomes.dk - the real estate agent selling the apartments.

They write 2014 as construction date in the listing.

From the drawing below it appears to be located just south of the path that also cuts through the center of 8tallet:

It appears to be black facing the street Richard Mortensens Vej and white facing the courtyard... But I guess that can still change?

Oh, how I wish they intend to keep up with how great Stævnen I and 8tallet looks and not degrade themselves to the levels of Stævnen 2 and the dormitory on Robert Jacobsens Vej. Not that these two buildings are decidedly ugly, they just look cheap and bland. This is Ørestad after all, home of unique architecture, not Brøndby Strand or the likes...

According to the brochure the architects are Årstiderne from Vejle.

We have recently seen a rather dull tower block from the same firm in the Krimsvej development. See the East Amager thread.

There are lots of talented architect from Jutland so how come these guys have been chosen again. City architect.. wake up.

Another project by Arkitektgruppen and Aarstiderne Archtects. Those two partners are moving forward these days with severels projects on Amager.

Talking urban construction and development, Amager really rock...

Can you guys figure out if the project described on http://www.jmdanmark.net/oerestad is the same as the one being sold by Living Homes?

I saw an ad with the link in today's Politiken.

And thanks for the welcome, and a :cheers: from my sunny balcony for posting so many interesting facts about the developments in and around Copenhagen!

It is another project.
JM Danmark owns a site in Ørestad Syd where they had a project called Arkaden. I suppose that this is the site they are trying to bring back to life.

In the latest status update from By&Havn you can see where the JM Danmark site is located. It is number 41 and the project by Arkitektgruppen is number 44.

It's praiseworthy that many initiatives are made for improving the envirement along the 'Sivegaden'.

The good question is if it really give some quality to the area, or is it only thin layer of 'make-up', to hide the concrete shadow from the overbearing metro.
Wrap in the whole metro foundation and the pillars in some sort of greenery, instead of the deadly boring concrete we see now.

Completely agree Hafnia.

By the way i heard some news regarding the PULS building under construction in Ørestad C. next to the IRMA on ground floor a new cafe will open and the contractor is negotiating with several interested people/investors - and the guy who runs the Cafe 8-tallet should be one of them.
It was a pure coincident that a got the news sitting next to a masterbuilder at a wedding in Taastrup this weekend :cheers:

What an "interesting" builiding! A modern interpretation of the platenbau of the 60'ties and 70'ties, spiced up with a modern minimal cladding, consisting of what looks like paint on concrete elements, in a strict layout of modern functional appartments. :)

^^ Yeah, it's awesome!

This is old news from 2010 but I hadn't seen it before here or elsewhere:
Kay Fiskers Plads is the 10th busiest pedestrian spot in Copenhagen!

That's above spots like Trianglen on Østerbro, Amagerbrogade and Istedgade near Gasværksvej. I knew Ørestad station is heavily used and that Fields attracts a huge crowd, yet the other spots still occur to be much more urban to me... I guess it just shows how neglected life between the houses has been in Ørestad City, and Kay Fiskers Plads especially.

The good news is that there's enough pedestrians to support some changes in the urban design of the area around the station. Do you guys know of any projects for this area? Sivegaden is a bit further away and I guess the expansion of Fields is a couple of years down the road.

The number is from City of Copenhagen's "Bylivsregnskab 2010" found at http://www.kk.dk/PolitikOgIndflydelse/Byudvikling/Byplanlaegning/Udviklingsplaner/~/media/E0309E4CBD604E59B2FE771E12065175.ashx

Yes, it is interesting that Kay Fiskers Plads scored so high, but I read in another rapport that the length of time spent on the area was on average 3 mins., just time to hurry from the metro station to Fields and that was not the definition of a nice square.
No one sitting sipping latte or suchlike.

^^ Nice ones of Ørestad Ngu.
Did you just went up there at the Skybar, or did you dined ?

It's understandable when you look at the square! It's really not designed for anybody to take a stay there. And it is a perfect example of a failure and bad urban planning. Creating a new urban spot, in the center of this new town, that is so not appealing for any urban life. It is a disaster. Unfortunately one of many in Ørestad.

However with that numbers there should be basis for much more business than just a "Pølsevogn". It would be a perfect spot for some cafes, coffie houses, a nice take away place etc. - I think even most shoppers would prefer a nice cafe outside Field's to relax rather than the awful 2nd floor of Field's!

It's the fastest way to ground level. Break the window and you're down in 3, 2, 1...

It's the fastest way to ground level. Break the window and you're down in 3, 2, 1...

To be more exact.. :)

The acceleration due to gravity of an object is 9.81 m/s2 (meters per second per second) down. The amount of displacement resulting from a given acceleration over time is .5at2, where t is the amount of time (in seconds). The amount of displacement we need to equal is the height difference between ground level and the skybar of the tower, and as far as I remember that difference is 72m.


After substituting our values into the displacement/acceleration equation, giving us -72 = .5(-9.81)t2. We can find our amount of time by isolating t. Doing this gives us our final result of 4.91 seconds. If we assume that non-gravity factors would not be accelerating your decent, we can treat this as an upper limit to the result in real life. :cheers:

(if anyone here is good at math let me know if I did this correct, I stole the equation from another site.. tihi)

That would probably be the longest 4,91 seconds in my life if i had to do the jump, fingers crossed that I´m not.

Just heard through the grapevine that AAB expects to finish their high rise in the southernmost end of Richard Mortensens Vej in the first quarter of 2014.

The high rise will be home to 48 four bedroom and 34 three bedroom apartments.

I haven't been able to find any up to date renderings of the project. I heard that no constructors participated in the bidding process so far due to a very low maximum price set by AAB. That does not bode well for the looks of the building but hopefully these rumors are untrue.

^^ Are you referring to the slim high rise, that originally was a part of the 8 tallet project ?

^^ Hafnia, I don't think so. It must be this project between 8 tallet and rækkehusene:
http://www.orestad.dk/Indhold/Boliger/Boliger+i+Orestad+Syd/83+Almene+familie+boliger.aspx

Maybe the delay from 2012 to 2014 is due to the tight budget?

No, I think that the slim high rise has been cancelled for good?
I was thinking of the construction that JayniX linked to.

^^Thanks for the link. Sad to see the cuts on the Copenhagen Concert Hall so clearly from above.

^^ What cuts do you have in mind?

The shells on the top - in the original plans they were supposed to cover the whole "meteor".

Things seem to be grinding to a halt in Ørestad... :-(

The parking house in Ørestad South and Horisonten in City are the only projects under construction. Or have I missed something?

There are of course the beautification of the canal near Bjerget and many buildings are unfinished on the inside - Puls with the Irma supermarket, the senior housing, and the student residence. And two buildings are in the early planning phase - a social housing project and an apartment complex, both in South. And of course the arena project, which may be delayed due to complaints from competing arenas.

Why not take advantage of the low interest rates and build something awesome :-)

You are forgetting the expansion of Cabinn Metro, was it around 250 rooms?

You have forgotten Radiorækkerne in Ørestad Nord will go U/C on Tuesday and the first two buildings at the Nordea site are also in the planning phase.

I'm not sure we will see more housing project coming along right now as the four you mentioned are already underway at various stages (HorizontenII, Puls and the two projects in South). However I expect a developer to take a chance and start-up a new office building as there is not much available office space left in Ørestad. There is off course the factor that DI will leave Copenhagen Towers when their building at the square is completed.

Jep, I guees that the officebuildings are a good guees. I don't think we will see so many housing projects the next couple of years, the residential markets are still in a slump if you look at the statistics even though it's not the story in the medias :-)
