Estimated price 1.5 billion kroner (200 million euros)

Sound very nice

I just hope they will be nice looking ones (I guess there's a limitation of how nice a car park can look though), and nothing like you see in many large American cities. These concrete monsters can really be real eyesores

The deal with the parking structures is incredibly good news!

Glad to hear the new technology will be in place.

Traditional parking garages are SUCH a waste of space.

And yes: let's hope your architects will manage to make those parking structures look attractive!

I just found renderings of the parking houses (or atlest 2 of them, not really sure if they all will look like this). These are the 2 winning designs.

First one is by Henning Larsens Tegnestue, that's the same people who designed the Ferring building and the new Opera House. This one is more like a traditionel parking garage:

And these from KHRAS Arkitekter, these are the fully automatic ones:

Looks pretty good to me, specially the last ones

Damn, you bet me to it....That what i get for staying late at work. It looks pretty good though i agree...

tournesol · October 7th, 2004, 12:25 AM

Yes, it's very interesting news indeed. And 17 floors sounds good, even though its only "car-height" floors. So it will probably be about 2 meters pr. floor I guess...

Oberleutnant · October 7th, 2004, 12:29 AM

If you don't mind me saying, but I think those look the nicest parking garages I've ever seen (aside from that automated car warehouse that Volkswagen has). Before reading the descriptions I thought those were office buildings.

17 floors? Damn that's a lot. But could be right

sdes · October 7th, 2004, 08:50 AM

Best parking garages that I have ever seen.

Maybe even too expensive for cars?

And 17 floors, wow!

Where did you hear 17 floors?? Or did you just count the floors in the image??

No, it was in the newspaper. I think they were quoting the press statement, so it's probably safe to believe...

Yeah i've since seen it somewhere else so i guess its right...

I ask you to take another good look at the parking garages mlm shows us up there.

In the second to last picture, isn't that Swede without his favorite baseball cap?

And in the last one: what's that cheery egg-shaped American football doing there?

On the renderings the parking houses looks great, but i doubt they will be so goodlooking in reality.
Btw the parkinghouse in the last pic remind me of one of those new houses in Langelinie.

I'm quite optimistic about these projects, but I agree that the renderings seems a little to "chearfull". The amount of "happy streetlife" surrounding the buildings (including Swede, as WH pointed out

) is far from realistic...

Yeah but almost all of the renderings we've seen from ørestaden has looked something like this. I guess thay have the same computer program...

tournesol · October 20th, 2004, 06:53 PM

Just a quick update on a couple of construction sites...

Parkhusene, now one floor above ground:

M-huset at full height and the taller V-huset now 4 floors up:

A pano of the many cranes at Ørestad North:

copenhagenjazz · October 26th, 2004, 05:42 PM

Thank you for another update tournesol - they are greatly appreciated!
I really like the channel in the second picture. Now all we need is some really tall buildings

mlm · October 26th, 2004, 07:04 PM

Ouch, I missed this update as well. It's getting denser

Personally I can't wait to see VM Husene finished, I think they'll look great.

cphdude · October 26th, 2004, 10:43 PM

ha, stupid me i just learned that i have a family member working as a builder in ørestaden, on the DR project....how wierd is that!
