Copenhagen Arch



This elevated bridge-like mini-scraper is a building designed by the somewhat famous Danish architects 3XN. The building is built to connect two portsides from their seperating water channel between, while also creating an attractive residential and commercial structure. This structure isn't placed on some old dock by the way, since the surrounding area is a former dock, that has been turned into a luxurious residential and commercial area. This Skyscraper is not only ment to be a gateway to this modern neighbourhood, but also an icon of the area.

The structure will have a space of a total 62,000 square meters and though the height is unknown for know, the architects claim that it will be the tallest amongst those of its neighbourhood (the other tallest has a height of 48 meters). This building is by the way also a proposal, so it is unknown if it actually will be built, but due to the global econimical crisis that is plagueing us lately, the chances of it building built are unfortunately rather low.
