Description

Inspired by Brewing History

The choice of materials in the urban spaces is inspired by the historic brewery buildings: by the cultural landmark, Kridttårnet, the surrounding plaza features materials, colors, and patterns found in the tower itself, while the play sculpture south of the high-rise Pasteur's Tower is built in the same hue as the 60 golden discs on the Malt Warehouse (now the Ottilia Hotel).

South of Pasteur’s Tower, the paving consists of dark brick, with a change in bond pattern in areas designated for outdoor seating.

The urban space by Kridttårnet has a significant slope toward the east. To address the level changes, light concrete retaining walls are introduced, which also function as seating.

The alleys are laid out as play and recreational streets, with surfaces of dark brick and asphalt.

Courtyard
The courtyard is a lush green oasis with gravel paths, small seating areas, and bicycle parking. Ground floor apartments have private terraces bordered by low plantings, including ground-covering perennials, shrubs, and a group of trees.

I’m really fond of how the landscape project turned out. We’ve gained two truly beautiful urban spaces. One of them, which connects directly to J.C. Jacobsen’s Garden, is planted with striking groups of trees and paved with beautiful materials. The other, by the Chalk Tower, is planted with a group of pine trees. It looks stunning and complements the buildings perfectly. A truly lovely atmosphere has been created. The significant change in terrain has been handled in a way that accommodates all users and functions.
