Frederiks Brygge
Frederiks Brygge is a waterfront area in the Southern Docklands of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located at the bottom of Frederiksholmsløbet, a canal that separates Enghave Brygge to the north from Teglholmen to the south.
History
The site was from the 1920s home to the headquarters and main storage of Lemvigh-Müller, a steel wholesaler. Nordea acquired the site in 2006 and Lemvigh-Müller moved to new headquarters in Herlev in 2010. Their old administration building was converted into youth housing in 2013.Redevelopment
Nordea Liv & Pension and PenSam will be redeveloping the site. The masterplan for the area is designed by Design Group Architects. The plans comprise 1,200 apartments, retail and commercial space, 120,000 square metres in total, as well as several new urban spaces.A and five-to-10-storey-tall block will shield the waterfront area from busy Vasbygade. The block will surround five individual courtyards and contain 613 rental apartments. The building will be completed in 2019.
The sculptural, made like Japanese origami from red steel plates, deserves attention. A colorful poetic element in a gray and rugged landscape, the bicycle and pedestrian bridge connects the peninsulas of Slüssholmen and Teglholmen, inviting users to shorten the route across the canal and make it easier to get to the city center.
Belvederebrun's striking red echoes the rusted steel and brick of HC Ørstedsværket, the architectural landmark of Enghave Brygge.
