Projektbeschreibung
tetris has developed a self storage building in copenhagen. entasis was attached to the assignment as an architect, as the municipality had asked for a project oriented towards the potential of the entire area.
the basic idea of the building is to introduce a volume that fits in the existing urban context. the building is placed solitary and adapted to the site’s wedged shape. to substantiate the contextual relationship, horizontal lines from the surrounding buildings are adapted into the new building as cuts, undercuts, prints and alignment. this means that the building has different heights and inclining surfaces.
in a desire to create a gate between the new building and the neighbour, the facing brick facade is used as a transformed motif in the new facade design. this transformation means “stretching” the motif to fit the length of the new facade. the windows are walled up, and the facade stands as a reflection of his neighbour.
