SITE
Konditaget Lüders is in Aarhusgadekvarteret, which is part of the first phase of the Nordhavn masterplan. The area is known as the “red neighbourhood” because of the characteristic red brick buildings along the harbor. The warm, red tint of Konditaget Lüders is adopted from the history of the site and gives an identity to the otherwise generic concrete elements.

FACADE
Instead of hiding the parking house structure, the grid is accentuated. A system of planters is hung in a pattern informed by the grid, celebrating the structure rather than masking it. These planters give the façade a rhythm, introduce a sense of scale to the building, and distribute greenery across the façade.

TALES FROM THE HARBOR
The frieze depicts historic tales from the harbor. It pictures its development, significant buildings and structures, activities and other transformative events that have shaped the history of Nordhavnen. The frieze is designed and illustrated by Rama Studio.

THE RED THREAD
Conceived as one continuous a red thread, the handrail leads people from street, up past the green façade and to the rooftop public space. It literally takes people by the hand and invites them up for a view of the city skyline. Here, it transforms from handrail to a sculptural installation that offers a palette of recreational activity. From swings, trampolines, jungle gyms, crossfit equipment, monkey bars and more, it attracts playful and athletic children, adults and elderly.
