- Abstract
- This architectural thesis project explores the integration of a new office building into the historic and diverse urban setting of Hillerødgade 31, Copenhagen. Surrounded by iconic modernist structures by Arne Jacobsen, the project is a contemporary interpretation that seeks to harmonize with its prestigious neighbors. While employing modern timber construction techniques such as Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam, the focus extends beyond material innovation to a broader architectural dialogue.
The thesis contemplates the building’s interaction with the area’s distinct characters—from the industrial vibrancy of Nørrebro to the serene residential atmosphere of Frederiksberg. It aims to craft a space that responds to the evolving...

Surrounded by iconic modernist structures by Arne Jacobsen, the project is a contemporary interpretation that seeks to harmonize with its prestigious neighbors. While employing modern timber construction techniques such as Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam, the focus extends beyond material innovation to a broader architectural dialogue.
The thesis contemplates the building’s interaction with the area’s distinct characters—from the industrial vibrancy of Nørrebro to the serene residential atmosphere of Frederiksberg. It aims to craft a space that responds to the evolving nature of work and urban life, balancing historical respect with a modern design ethos. The design process considers the acoustic and solar challenges posed by the urban environment and strict local regulations, particularly concerning proximity to rail infrastructure.
The resulting design aspires to contribute to Copenhagen’s architectural narrative, reflecting the city’s fusion of tradition and innovation. The use of timber is a secondary but vital aspect of this narrative, supporting the project’s environmental objectives without overshadowing the primary goal of creating a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and contextually integrated urban office building. This building is not just a new addition to the skyline but an active participant in the city’s architectural and cultural discourse, setting a precedent for future developments in urban sustainability and design.
