Visible from the Central Station, the Town Hall Square and the Tivoli Gardens, Scala on the Axel Square is located on a central traffic, cultural and commercial site in Copenhagen. Acting as the visiting card of Copenhagen to the surrounding world in the heart of a potent mix of lite and popular culture, we wish to continue Scalas function as a place for concerts, cinemas, shops and restaurants. The municipality has expressed a wish to let Scala house the new main library. Additionally, the proximity to the Central Station and the central location make the building suitable for conferences, hotel rooms and offices, which all in all means many activities in one place. Rather than choosing just one of the suggested programmes, we propose to realize all wishes and possibilities all at once: A dense and lively house for the city that combines both private and public space in a sliding scale from the street to the rooftop in one continuous movement. We propose a building with a starting point in the
historical Copenhagen tower which is made up of two basic principles: a base that relates to the urban space and life unfolding near the building, and a slim steeple that reaches towards the sky and becomes part of the Copenhagen Skyline. As such, our design of the Scala Tower grows out of the context with a starting point in the volumes and cornice heights of the neighbouring buildings. From the surrounding city space, the house rises towards the sky. At the top, a clear principle for a tall and slim tower, at the bottom, a beautifully modelled volume that merges with the surrounding city from building to city space. At street level, people have access to the main library that is a terraced landscape of reading rooms, great collections as well as a conference centre. Continuing up the tower, visitors will find themselves comfortable in the hotel, just as commercial tenures and a public roof terrace offer spectacular views of the city.

The VM Houses, shaped like a V and an M when seen from above, is the first residential project to be built in the new district of Copenhagen known as restaden. The upcoming neighbourhood is connected to the center of the city by the new metro system. The manipulated perimeter block of the V building is clearly defined in its four corners, but opened internally and along the sides. The vis-vis with the neighbouring M house is eliminated by pushing the slab in its centre, ensuring diagonal views to the vast, open fields around. The building volume provides optimal air, daylight and views to all apartments with triangular-shaped balconies characterising the south facing facade. All apartments have a double-height space to the north and wide panoramic views to the south. People can access the apartments from a central corridor that cuts through the building volume and opens up towards daylight and views at each end. The corridors create connections to elevators and staircases and function as a local community where people can meet spontaneously and children can play. The central hallway function as a public space, imitating random bullet holes penetrating the building. A similar logic of the diagonal slab is used in the M building, although in this case it is broken down into smaller portions. Here, the typology of Le Corbusiers Unit dhabitation is reinterpreted and mutated: the central corridors are short and receive light from both ends. Individual terraces are all on the south facing side of the building, and the roof terrace can be reached from the central corridors.

Los apartamentos se caracterizan por la interaccin de habitaciones que se complementan mutuamente - con estudios de doble altura cerca de las cocinas y reas de estar, con cuartos grandes y abiertos que pueden subdividirse en unos ms pequeos, y ticos espaciales iluminados con luz natural. Las casas VM estn construidas con materiales simples, pero exquisitos, con grandes fachadas en cristal enmarcadas por madera fina. Los pisos estn hechos de madera de roble slida, y se ha utilizado madera oscura para los pisos del balcn. Las paredes y los techos tienen una terminacin en concreto blanco, y todas las escaleras y pasamanos internos son en acero pintado de blanco. Todas las paredes exteriores de los apartamentos son en vidrio. Al ser el primer complejo residencial en el rea, era importante crear un ambiente acogedor. Para proveer los alrededores de los edificios de un espacio pblico, el volumen V se alza en columnas de cinco metros de alto, abriendo el rea del patio hacia el rea del parque, en el lado sur, mientras que las fachadas son articuladas con nichos y ngulos, creando una serie de espacios informales de encuentro. Uno de los aspectos ms importantes de este esquema residencial se enfoca en el desarrollo de diversas tipologas de apartamento, que van desde plantas de un nivel, a triplexes. El edificio V, de 114 unidades, se compone de 40 tipos distintos de apartamentos, y el edificio M, con sus 95 unidades, cuenta con 40 tipologas.

The apartments are characterised by the interaction of mutually complementing rooms with double-height studios near kitchens and living rooms, with large and open rooms that can be broken down into smaller ones and spatial attics which are naturally lit. The VM Houses are made up of simple but exquisite materials with large glass facades framed by fancy wood. Floors are made up of solid oak wood, and dark, hard wood have been used for the balcony floors. Walls and ceilings appear with a somewhat raw finish in white concrete, and all internal stairs and handrails come in white painted steel. All the apartments external walls are made up of glass. As the first residential complex in the area, it was important to create an inviting environment. To provide public space around the buildings, the V volume is raised on five metre high columns, opening up the courtyard to the park area on the south side while the facades are articulated with niches and angles, creating a series of informal meeting places. One of the most important aspects of this housing scheme focuses on the development of Apartment typologies diverse apartment typologies, ranging from singlefloor plans to triplexes. The 114-unit V building is composed of 40 different apartment types, while the M building with its 95 units contains 40 typologies.
