Copenhagen to get first high-rise tower hotel

by Caroline Wilkinson | 09 Dec 2008

Plans for a new 116m tall mixed-use tower have been revealed for Copenhagen, Denmark.

The 21,688sq m (233,447sq ft) Rødovre Skyscraper will include a 2,000sq m hotel, a public park and a plaza, restaurants, 970sq m of retail space, offices and apartments. A public park adjacent to the 'sky village' is part of the project and will be refurbished to feature public paths, a playground, a picnic area and exercise areas for elderly citizens.

The development, led by Brainstone APS, has been designed by Dutch architects MVRDV and Danish designers ADEPT, in collaboration with Dutch engineering firm ABT and consultants Søren Jenssen. A spokesperson for MVRDV said: "Due to unsta­ble mar­kets the design is based on a flex­i­ble grid, allow­ing alter­ation to the development by re-​designating the 60sq m blocks, that make up the building, around the cen­tral core. For flex­i­bil­ity there are three cores allow­ing sep­a­rate access to the different areas.

"Flex­i­bil­ity for adap­ta­tion is one of the best sus­tain­able char­ac­ter­is­tics of a build­ing."
