Trollbeads House, Copenhagen, designed by BBP Arkitekter

A 1960s office building has been transformed into a high security building, organised like a Venetian merchant house, with goods loaded at the ground floor, stock and offices above, and, at the highest level, a residence for the owner with a roof terrace.

The challenge was to make a building that respects its curtain wall typology, while relating to the historic houses on either side.

A new skin of glass and brass covers the facade, the roof and a small courtyard at the back. On the outside a patterned, perforated brass curtain is hung, incorporating motorised folding elements.

Every morning half of the curtain opens, emulating the adjacent historic houses with repeating window reveals in a ‘massive’ wall. After working hours the curtain closes automatically, creating a burglar-proof vault.

After dark, dim lighting reveals a modern glass house behind a veil of translucent brass.

The European Copper in Architecture Awards is a biennial showcase celebrating architectural design of buildings incorporating copper or copper alloy cladding, roofing or other architectural elements. The expansion and development of these biennial awards over the last two decades mirrors a fundamental change in the use of copper on buildings, from a practical roof covering to a highly architectural material for many building elements – particularly facades – with endless opportunities for design.

BBP TILDELT COPPER IN ARCHITECTURE AWARD 2015

The European Copper Institute har idag udsendt denne pressemeddelelse:

For 17. gang er den europæiske Copper in Architecture Award blevet uddelt og denne gang løb danske BBP Arkitekter med den store pris for smykkedomicilet Trollbeads House på Toldbodgade i København.

Vinderen blev fundet mellem 50 projekter fra 17 lande med begrundelsen: BBP Arkitekter har på forunderlig vis ombygget en anonym 1960 kontorbygning til et topsikret smykkedomicil. Huset er organiseret som de venetianske handelshuse, med vare der bliver lastet i nederste etage, lager og kontor oven over, og øverst en lejlighed med tagterrasse til ejeren selv.

Huset facade og tag består af glas, der er blevet iklædt et mønstret messing gardin, der sektionsvis kan foldes op.
Dommerne udtalte: “Den omskiftelige facade er et unikt og kraftfuldt svar på husets funktion og dets urbane kontekst – overraskende men dog oplagt. Det centrale koncept er udført klart og kompromisløst med et imponerende højt detaljeringsniveau.
