Identity
A city that challenges the future and having the base on its own historical culture

The work of several generations of energetic people has created today’s Carlsberg Group. This cultural and economical achievement is displayed by high quality of the architecture, the gardens and free spaces on the Carlsberg’s brewery ground in Copenhagen. The present concept aims to unveil the site’s (Carlsberg Site) special characteristic, the atmosphere and to overlay it with a new urban structure – side om side. The new, urban structure offers complex spaces, which are open for a multilayered living together, cultural changes and social further developments.

City life
Forth stands the quality of life
Diverse people, townsfolk (townsman, townspeople, urbanites, city dweller) are living, working and residing (live, dwell, room), constituting the community – Carlsberg by – side om side.

Allocation of space – framework – for diverse forms of living and working
The area is divided in different scopes each with a differentiated denseness, housing, character and atmosphere. The area around the power house, with the Boulevard Ny Carlsberg Vej, is the heart of the Carlsberg By. A number of Carlsberg A/S´s listed buildings are located here as well as new cultural facilities such as theatre, art and culture. Additionally shops, bars, restaurants enliven the central city space with labels (music, fashion). Offices and Carlsberg’s headquarter supplement the Carlsberg centre with social, local facilities (kindergarten and meeting of citizen).

A vibrant city that sets a high standard for quality of life

Living
The northern area (Rahbeks Alle) is predominantly used for living. The streetscape Rahbeks Alle is regional framed. Scale and proportion of the new building are corresponding with the asset. Here, multifaceted forms of housing and living are feasible (single flat, family housing, x-room flats, ateliers). Families with children are living alongside artists and business people, alongside living for Best Ages. Each quarters has its individual characteristic (none is alike any other one), a special microclimate, naturally shaped by the residents, is supported by private living yards and integrated green spaces for recreation and sport. Living in the southern area in connection with the garden beside the Carlsberg academy offers also this kind of variety. Here the distinctiveness occurs that at some points the basement is opened up (illumination and direct access) and is blend in the buildings. The existing premises of the basement can be used for musicians, artists, the theatre etc.. Categorically parking (parking, car parks) is located on the site, integrated in the building and partly as basement garage.

Urban form
The area’s arrangement of differentiated scopes with specific characteristics is displayed in the implementation (moulding) of the urbanite figure. The central scope (Ny Carlsberg Vej) forms a distinct figuration with a high density and higher buildings as in the northern and southern parts. The height and proportion of the construction area and new buildings is aligned with the surrounding construction or rather reacts to the site’s particularity. In the central scope the urbanite expression of the concept – side om side – is a coherent plateau with several layers and levels which extends from the Gamle Carlsberg Vej till the Vesterfaelledvej. It accommodates different activities (ranging from shops, cultural facilities to parking) and provides free spaces (sport and recreation) on the different layers. These plateaus are public and offer city life on several layers. The urban platform renders possible that different activities enrich one another, for example the university and the Carlsberg Research.

Multilayered City
This structure ensures the integration of the asset, the listed buildings, to integrate them into the master-concept with the new constructions (side om side), allows the ensemble’s autonomy. Varying architecture, individual buildings are bound together to an ensemble. In the first and zero level the parking level are located. The Ny Carlsberg Vej is interpreted as a boulevard which supports the centre development. The spatial middle based on two new developed, oppositional places, each with different qualities. The place at the Power house has a stony and urban character. Bars, restaurants and cultural facilities are accommodated in its surrounding. The green place at the Carlsberg high-rise building is garden-like designed and provides space for recreation and sports, among other things there are kindergartens and meeting points in the surroundings.

High rise
In the direct proximity further high-rise building are associate with the Carlsberg high-rise building, so that a group, a cluster accrues, which gives a spatial dialog among each other (side om side). This highlights up-stations focus on Carlsberg high-rising building and cross-section Ny Carlsberg Vej / Vesterfaelledvej, because here, based on the existing structure, the appropriate location is given. The topic of the existing gates – the Elephant Gate and Dipylon Gate – is transferred; the new buildings refer among other things to this through ligament (skywalks).

Free space
The area is structured based on the public free spaces which create the link to the surrounding and which displays a concise framework for a manifold, prospective development. The north - south - connection reaches from Rahbeks Alle till the new interurban train and beyond, from Frederiksberg till Kongens Enghave. The west - east - connection reaches from Gamle Carlsberg Vej (new university) via the project area till Vesterfaelledvej, from Valby till Vesterbro. Diverse qualities of free spaces for sports and recreation, link-up with the bicycle network. The internal access network is conceived as such that none or low through traffic is produced, however a comfortable connection for the inhabitants is given. The Carlsberg By\'s form and its spaces provide a good orientation and security to the inhabitants.
