The Copenhagen Waterfont / JDS & KLAR

By — Filed under: Urban Design ,
 

JDS, in collaboration with Klar, will redesign the harbour front Kalvebod Brygge as the result of a tender held by the City of Copenhagen, within the newly established ‘Metropolzone’

The Metropolzone is a major development project to upgrade a part of Copenhagen City centre, which stretches from Kalvebod Brygge to St. Jørgens Lake.

Interesting sea baths, something that JDS developed in the past as PLOT.

We expect more information shortly. A few more images after the break.
