II.1.2) Short description:

By & Havn (CPH City and Port Development) in cooperation with ATP Ejendomme A/S is holding an international competition for 2 new buildings on the Langelinie and Marmormolen pier area of the Copenhagen Waterfront. The main purpose of the competition is to obtain a visionary design proposal for two high rise buildings (50-60.000 sq.m. in total) which reflects the challenges presented by the site and its context. The two high rise buildings must be connected by a foot brigde at a minimum of 65 m above the sea level. The new edifices will be the first buildings one encounters upon entering the inner harbour of Copenhagen and will certainly command attention with their remarkable visibility both by land and by sea. A second purpose of the competition is to obtain a conceptual design for the surrounding landscape on the tip of both piers and eventually including a minor building at the end of Marmormolen in accordance with the masterplan, made by 3xn ( www.marmormolen.dk). The competition is bases on a part of the masterplan for Marmormolen. Marmormolen is under change from an industrial area to a part of the town with a mixed use of housing and workplaces. Langelinie is a well known tourist attraction in Copenhagen due to its proximity to the little Mermaid sculpture and the many cruise ships which dock in the area. Further details on the project are available on www.marmormolen.dk and www.langeliniespidsen.dk, on By & Havn on www.byoghavn.dk and ATP Ejendomme on www.atp-ejendomme.dk.
