HM2

HM2 is a new commercial property lease on the corner of Mitchellsgade and Kalvebod Brygge, providing a striking architectural profile to the area around Kalvebod Brygge together with other prestigious new buildings such as Nykredit's Krystallen (the Crystal) and the new head office of SEB Pension.

Creating life and activity in the neighbourhood

The common denominator of these new projects is that they interact with their neighbourhood and contribute to creating life and activity for the benefit and enjoyment of companies, citizens and the urban environment in general. The ground floor of HM2 will be open to the general public with restaurants and shops, and the building completes the new square named Under Krystallen which connects HM2 and Krystallen through the reflection and mist of water.

Strong visual transition between old and new

Also with the actual architecture of the structure, Dissing+Weitling has focused on engaging with the surroundings. The building is made up of three units which with their separate qualities create the impression of a complete high-rise. In this way and with sloping roof surfaces of varying height, HM2 has a strong visual connection with the original high-rise buildings in the area around Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. At the same time, the glass frontage and other high-tech materials of HM2 produce a transition to the new architecture of the area with its stand-alone buildings.
