Kronløb Island is a proposal by COBE for Copenhagen Municipality designed in 2016. It is located in Copenhagen Denmark in a seaside setting. Its scale is large with a surface of 68.000 sqm. Key material is stone. Beauty and the bit collaborated as visualizer. Concepts such as monolith stratification plaza and nature are explored. Review the 2 proposals for the same competition.
Kronløb Island is an entirely new island in the existing Kronløb water basin in Nordhavnen in Copenhagen. The island will serve as a stepping-stone between two new neighbourhoods in the future city district and will break up the harbour basin into a number of intimate canals. Kronløb Island will include the area’s biggest parking facility – a three-story underwater car park – as well as two new urban spaces in direct contact with the water, three new bridges and a monolithic housing volume with unique and varied housing qualities surrounding an intimate green heart. The monolithic architecture refers to the geological processes that have shaped the Danish landscape and islands for thousands of years and enhances the story of Kronløb Island as a unique new island in Denmark – a monolith carved from one stone.
