Competition win; realised 21.-23.aug 2015

4. Created for the Chart art fair, architecture competition, the pavillon is inspired by artist Piet Mondrians
cubistic works, and plays with contrasts in material instead of colours.
The pavillon hosts the company sticks’n’sushi serving different japanese treats to the customers.
Inspired by the company’s brand and foodserving, the pavillon is very influence by the simplicity
and lightness of japanese art and architecture.
The project consists of a cube that changes character from every angle. It invites the customer
inside aswell as provides seating options and direct accesibillity from the courtyard.
Lantern like lamps glowing through the thin material lights up the pavillon at night while a play of shadows
pass through the pavillon at day.
Sticks’N’Sushi were great partners and much appreciative of the pavillon, they’ve since used it as PR.

The project attempts to create a space for the beneficial meeting between generatioens. Research
shows that both children and elderly benefit tromendously from the company of eachother in eve-
ryday interaction. The project is based on creating different scales of privacy, sorrounding an open
courtyard structure, acting as apark In the center of the building. The elder apartments are placed
furthest from the public space but with a constant visual and direct contact. In the parklike center the
children and elderly meet using different shared functions and in the use of the same recreative space.

7. The summerhouse is situated in a dramtic landscape, in the first line of sloping down
towards the inlake. A view that is a strongly forming factor in the design of the building,
that opens up towards it, creating a sense of coherence between inside and outside.
An inner garden creates a center of the building connecting all functions through vision and
accesibility. The space furtherly blurs the span between inside and outside.
The building differs strongly in sense of ‘open and closed’ letting light stream through from
multiple sides through out the day, aswell as creating shelter and privacy.
The building is conceptually made up of to angle’s, one with the inside world and one with
the outside functions, connected under one roof. Using concrete, plywood and glass the
building at the same time has a warm, homelike feel and seems informal and sharp in the
soft nature landscape.

10. During the summer break of my 4th and 5th study year i have participated in
international erasmus architecture workshops In spain and Poland,
With students and teachers from 8 different european schools of architecture,
In each of the workshops we were to research the possibilities of different
materials, and come up with architectural experiments and projects.
In poland we worked with wicker learning traditional techniques,
and challenging them in larger structures. “A space in the forrest”
In Barcelona the challenge was to make a 1:1 self-supporting structure of
6mm iron-bars, functioning as a sheltering space. Our structure is composed
of interweaved rings which in the right pattern get enough momentum in the
connecting points, making it strong enough to be self-supporting creating a
dome-like space.

11. 06 I SPACE FOR LIFE
INTERSHIP SVENDBORG ARCHITECTS
In my internship I worked on a project in
collaboration with Humanistic Society and Life Ceremonies.The goal of
the philanthropic project was creating a neutral space for ceremonies.
A room that provides space for people to celebrate life cycle events.
Special design considerations makes this possible in the ceremonial
space.
The room, with its own simple form, is a kind of ever-changing space
for the individual celebration of life’s events.
The glass structure functions as a membrane or filter between the
space created at the ceremony and the context in which it takes place.
The plan for the Ceremony Room is without context and scale,
and should be seen as an expression of the poetic inclusion of a
neutral lifestyle. The plan is a conceptual design and a statement
about meaningful new architecture.

12. The project is based where the old museum was placed, and burnt to the ground, in Churchillparken,
in the center of copenhagen. With the contrast of sorrounding buisness areas and trafficed space,
the park functions as a central recreative space, creating a hinge between the two.
The museum deals with the fundamental ideas of freedom and resistance, specificly during the
2.worldwar in denmark 1940-1945, and in a new addition to the museum, exhibiting a broader
perspective of fighting for freedom globally and in many different senses.
The museum is located in the span between over and underground, leading the visitor on a path
from the light and current time and place, to the dramatic and nostalgic darkness underground.
The park is actively integrated in the museum, as an additional exhibition of excisting memorials,
inscriptions and recreative spaces.

The project concerns the minimal way of living.
The allotmenthouse aims to fulfil the basic needs in an optimal way on fewest square
meters possible.
Sit - Lie - Stand
The house exists as a coherent construction, which in its form strives to create space
for the human scale. The house functions as a furnished space of minimal living.
The idea of minimal living in the allotmenthouse is based on creating a contrast
to the complicated buisy everyday life, as a simplistic alternative.

ALLOTMENTHOUSE, 1.year
wcoppe
A fashion house for the designer Issey Miyake,
on Vesterbro in the Carlsberg district.
The building varies in the planning between the
great open flow, containing the primary movement
and the enclosed masses, in which private
meeting rooms and functions in need of darker
areas are placed.
The project concerns the span between the solid
and the fluid space. Contradicting and comple-
menting each other within the same structure.
the building with its distinguish of common floor
separations creates boundryless spaces that open
up to the sorrounding context, framing a creative
univers containing work and exhibition.

16. A Villa on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen.
The user; a scientist who in his work accomplishes tasks with great
intellect, but has difficulties maintaining normal everyday life.
Tasks must be based on routine and be as simple as possible.
The focus of the house is creating a flow in which all everyday
functions are placed. When moving through the house a variety of
spaces forms around the body fulfilling different needs of living.
The materials used in the house are mostly concrete and wood,
resting in a metal framework. The two different textures helps the
user decode the function of the space and creates different
atmospheres within a space.

Learning
The school is formed according to three keywords: Seeing, hearing, Learning
complementing each other the keywords create the opportunity of a spatially varying course
of learning. The school contains a inner flow in which the hardfunctional rooms such as
classrooms are placed. In the centre of the school an internal world of creativity and
inspiration exists, as a platform for all the creative subjects the musical school contains.
The school is sharded from within. Reflective plates distribute light to the schools inner
spaces, as well as creating an acoustic ceiling in the underground concert hall.
