KNABRO PASSAGE

Conversion of a characteristic property in the heart of Copenhagen into 50 contemporary apartments, alongside the reorganisation of remaining office and retail functions.

The complex consisted of five buildings, including one listed structure. Preservation of existing architectural qualities defined the overall approach, while enabling a new mixed-use programme. Energy upgrades were carried out across all buildings, including improved insulation, new windows, and upgraded ventilation systems in the commercial areas. 

The transformation improved indoor climate and daylight conditions throughout the development. Balconies and roof terraces were added to both residential and commercial parts of the complex, while the buildings frame a series of courtyards and green spaces that strengthen the shared spatial structure.

Phased execution allowed existing businesses to remain in operation throughout the construction period. Key structural elements, including staircases and primary installations, were retained to minimise waste and support an efficient transformation process.

Responsibilities included project development through to completion, acting as both main consultant and client advisor in close collaboration with the client’s asset manager.
