Harbour Isle Apartments by Lundgaard & Tranberg
The Danish architects Lundgaard & Tranberg designed the Harbour Isle apartment buildings in Copenhagen, Denmark. The buildings are part of the new Havneholmen area of Copenhagen, which is a former industrial area that has been transformed into a residential and business zone, taking better advantage of the harbour front location.
The project consists of 236 apartments in two U-shaped blocks with inner courtyards opening towards the harbour. Varying heights of 5 to 8 storeys visually reduce the scale of the project and, along with the thin proportions of the glass partitions, give the white facades a light and graceful appearance. The entire project, including the projecting bays, is rendered in warm white stucco with teak fenestration, giving the entire project a maritime feel.

White looks always good on buildings which makes it look almost Mediterranean.
The design livens it up and the windows make it look more open.
It’s concept is simple despite the architecture seems harder to do than your old flat building. But at least they use the same blueprints.

Fanf*ckingtastic. The interiors are nothing revolutionary, but they are done right, at least it seems they have been from the photos. Very, very nice indeed.

It reminds me of a cruise ship. I love that the balconies stick out from the building, intensifying the view across the water. Spectacular design.

The apartments are really big, and the fact that they are white makes the space look even more open.

the interiors are just as nice as the exteriors…i also like that they are a light color…makes the building stand out.

This place will look good while it is still relatively new, but in a few years its going to look aged and dirty once errosion and corrosion seep in.
