The project involves studio flats, a bookstore and a passage to a cemetery, the infill site is located in the city center of Copenhagen. When working with a small site the goal was to expliot the space as much as possible. The approach for this was to use the staircase as a generator for space and for it to become a furniture in itself. As it moves vertically it will change on each level and create different spatial experiences in every apartment. Bay windows become seating and desks. The building where to inherit the expression of the context and is a building in three parts, the base for the bookstore and passage, the main part for the studios and the top where a terrace and shared facilities are. Although the apartments will be different, they will still hold the same functions and qualities.

Refshaleøen is a part of Copenhagen that used to be the location for the shipyard Burmeister & Wein until it closed in 1996. The waterline has traces of history with docks and stairs that once lead to a workspace but today takes you to the watersurface. The buildings sorrounding the site shows a clear cohesion to each other with their industrial roughness and ordinariness. On the tip of the dock lies a stair that leads down to the waterline and a space that once housed a huge water pump. This is the starting point for the building that had one constructive condition, it had to be built with a timber construction. The proposal was to create a building that took the imprint of a place that once contained a production. With the fishmonger that could sell fresh fish to the public and a internal connection to the kitchen, the idea was that from the point where the fish is delivered to the served food it created a chain of motions and a production.

The location for the site of this project lies in the meeting between the city of Copenhagen and the industrial outskirts. It is an unu-sual place where habitants, small enterprises, office buildings and green areas merge with each other. Registrations and observations of the context, how spaces had a phenomenological connecection with each other led to an intuitive and experimental cube model in plaster and generated the idea of a fragmented housing complex of four dwellings. The project explores how separated spaces can be seen as one dwelling. Both the inner and outer space deals with spatial sequences and directional shifts which is communicated in the facade and the brick material. Spaces merge into each other and creates a perception of a whole. Experiments with brick result-ed in a project that challenged the perception of inside - outside.

The noun surface was given as a condition to explore spatially. In the first phase six 40x40 cm plaster models were made of the surface. With this transformation the surfaces were experienced in new scales and registered it in different drawings which led to an extrusion of a drawing and transformed to a model. This model was the generator for a new drawing where experimentswith double exposure in the form of copies of the cube model from the copier. The last phase challenged how reading the drawing as spaces and exploring these in a human scale. A shift between ramps and stairs created a network of movements that can be compared with a wandering from space to space. With this you will move on a path through spatial shifts lifted over the ground and exploring the surface from above.

The open air museum in Copenhagen is the biggest of its kind with over sixty buildings collected from Denmark, Sweden and The Faroe Islands. The analysis explores how the houses in the collection relates to each other as a collection. These houses are not built after an architectural hierarki but after building traditions and how they could adapt to a context, landscape and climate. The fireplace is the core of the structure and the spaces that has a connection to it represents the social life of the building. It is the base of the building that the more fragile wood structure hinges on to. The drawing shows how farms, houses and small workshops change form when they are broken down to the core parts of the structure and how the fireplace is the core and how the wood structure floats around it. This is further interpreted in a model that is built after the timber-frame building tradition and collected with joints that can be found at the museum. It is built precise but with imprecision so it becomes tactile and has the ability to shape, like timber-frame holds the quality of meeting something indefinite, the landscape.
