Dissing+Weitling: European Copper Award

Dissing+Weitling were awarded a commendation at the European Copper in Architecture 14 Award Ceremony in London on the 29th September 2009 for Frederikskaj , their residential project located on the Copenhagen Harbourfront.

The judges consider the project “a slickly designed, unified entity that sets the standard for high-density urban housing. Its sleek architecture incorporates quality materials that reflect nautical references - textured and flat copper, hardwood windows and glass - but in a thoroughly modern way. The understated but beautifully detailed copper skin gives the building a feeling of solidity that is entirely appropriate to it's historically industrial location".
