Nyropsgade Activity Landscape

From a parking lot to a layered and multifunctional activity landscape.

In Nyropsgade, Copenhagen we see great potential for creating an attractive urban space that brings value to the people in the area. In cities where space is limited, we often need to rethink our approach to achieve this goal.Our vision for Nyropsgade introduces a layered landscape, featuring ‘floating’ pavilions' across the street’s wide central space.
