Krøyers Plads has become a landmark project within contemporary brick architecture in Denmark. The façades are built using 3243 Krøyer, whose warm red tones and vibrant surface create a natural dialogue with the historic warehouses along the waterfront. The character of the brick enhances the exclusive architecture of the development and gives the façades a timeless appearance.
The project demonstrates how contemporary brick architecture can combine historical inspiration with modern demands for design and quality. The choice of material contributes not only to the buildings’ visual identity, but also to a robust and long-lasting façade requiring minimal maintenance.
Krøyers Plads has received international recognition for its architecture and today stands as one of Copenhagen’s most distinctive waterfront residential developments. The project illustrates the ability of brick to create enduring buildings with a strong identity and significant architectural value.
Architect

Krøyers Plads was designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects in collaboration with COBE. The distinctive pitched-roof forms are inspired by the area’s historic warehouses and reinterpret the classical harbour architecture in a contemporary context.

The Project

Krøyers Plads is located in Christianshavn, Copenhagen, among some of the city’s most iconic historic warehouses. Today, the three waterfront buildings stand as a prominent example of contemporary Danish brick architecture, where modern design meets the area’s maritime heritage.

The Area
