Vividly stacked

With a super­market on the ground floor, a sports hall on first and apart­ments with private atrium terraces on the top floor, Dorte Mandrup has created an unda­unted bespoke solu­tion for a dense and complex city envi­ron­ment of Copen­hagen. Sund­by­øster Hall II is an archi­tec­tural 3‑in‑1 solu­tion. Each of the func­tions is expressed by a unique use of mate­rials, all part of the coll­ec­tive collage. After night­fall, the pleated red-golden wooden facade will appear to be glowing due to the esca­ping lights from the vertical ribbon windows reflec­ting on the warm tinted wood. At daytime, the ribbon windows let a plea­sant reflected daylight into the buil­ding.

SH2-Sund­by­oster Hall II is mixed use archi­tec­ture inte­gra­ting grocery store, sports hall and housing units in one buil­ding located in the district of Amager in Copen­hagen, Denmark. It is a visio­nary solu­tion for buil­ding in dense and compli­cated city envi­ron­ments.

Level O: Grocery store and parking

Level 3: Void above sports hall

Living space on top

12 apart­ments make the top of the buil­ding with an alumi­nium covered bay window from floor to ceiling and each contai­ning its own private atrium and rooftop terrace. The cons­truc­tion neces­sary for the large span of the sports hall is cleverly used as sepa­ra­ting walls between the apart­ments. The apart­ments are an alter­na­tive to the classic villas and contri­bute to a diverse demo­gra­phic compo­si­tion in the area. In this way the complex programme of the buil­ding both adds to and inte­grates exis­ting func­tions of the neigh­bour­hood.
