11 photo: Julien De Smedt photo: Julien De Smedt Maritime Youth House Amager Strandvej 13 DL-2300 Copenhagen The site was polluted with heavy metals (and therefore stable) To save budget the architects covered the entire site with a wooden deck (1600m2), so wasn t necessary to clean the site first The building is shared by two clients, a sail club and a youth house The youth house needed outdoor space for the kids to play; the sail club needed most of the site to park their boats The design is the literal results of negotiations between the two contradictory demands Where the deck rises it allows for boat storage and, at the same time, becomes an exciting play area for the kids The common room for daily activities is located in the front house, the workshop and storage is in the back corner building In contrast to the wooden exterior decks the floor in the community space is white concrete and a standard grey concrete in the workshop and storage area This is meant to reflect the dominance of the outdoor activities; the wooden deck is the actual "room" of the Maritime Youth House photo: Julien De Smedt m² Main designer, BIG Bjarke Ingels Group JDS architects Kvarterløft Governmental City Renewal Project JDS Monday till Friday From the central station; Københavns Hovedbanegård Take bus 2A direction: Kastrup Lufthavn Change bus at Bulgariensgade to bus 77 direction: Sundbyvester Plads Get off at Sundby Sejlforening Walk 2 min to the Maritime Youth House Take metro to Lergravsparken Station - direction: Lergravsparken Station Change to bus 77 - direction: Sundbyvester Plads Get off at Sundby Sejlforening, walk 2 min to the Maritime Youth House 11

12 photo: Jacob Gallt photo: Jacob Gallt Frøsilos Islands Brygge Copenhagen 'Unusual yet obvious' is the best way to describe MVRDV's conversion of two grain silos on the harbour front of Copenhagen into high-end housing for the fortunate few The brief suggested filling up the circular silo spaces with apartment floors MVRDV chose to go the other way about the task and hang the apartments on the outside of the silo walls as a second skin of glass, creating very light and almost outdoor living spaces The silo interiors remain as an industrial version of the atrium, roofed with translucent plastic A prime motivation for this inside-out solution was the relative fragility of the old silo walls MVRDV regarded the structural weakness of the concrete tubes as a serious limitation because it made it difficult to cut large holes in the walls for windows, without endangering the structural integrity The 84 apartments now range from around 90 to 200 square metres and the balconies add roughly one third to that as outdoor living space photo: Jacob Gallt Public access unknown! 2005 MVRDV NCC Rasmus_Rune_Nielsen 12
